The swiss pass is a golden ticket. With it you can explore all of Switzerland and you can board any train or bus or boat without worrying too much about buying tickets. I was able to visit over 5 cities in 4 days and did not have to pay for a single ticket.

This pass was such a great investment! I would recommend it to anyone who likes to make spontaneous plans. It is a little pricier than the continuous pass, but it is worth the money. The only thing you should remember is that seat reservations for panoramic trains cost extra.

Like the name says, this pass really was super flexible and fit my loose itinerary perfectly! I could pick my travel days as and when I was up to travel and I never felt the pressure to travel fast. It was awesome to have unlimited access to trains and buses on the days I needed too.
