The Swiss Travel Pass was very convenient. We traveled with it for 8 days and knowing that we could not get stuck missing a connection was a big comfort.

What mattered most to me was the freedom to travel around Switzerland. I didn't have to worry about ticket prices or where to buy them. I also enjoyed taking advantage of the chance to visit museums.
