Geneva Required Information
The official currency of Geneva (and all of Switzerland) is the Swiss Franc (CHF); One Franc consists of 100 Rappen (also called centimes in French).
ATMs are widely available, and credit/debit cards are commonly accepted. However, it’s still a good idea to carry some cash, especially for small purchases or local markets.
Switzerland uses plug types C and J. Plug type C has two round pins, while type J has three round pins. The standard voltage is 230V with a frequency of 50Hz.
If you are taking prescription medication, it’s recommended to bring enough for your entire stay. Swiss regulations allow travelers to carry personal medication for their own use. However, you should carry a copy of your prescription and keep medicines in their original packaging. Importing medicines by mail to private individuals is generally restricted.
Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area.
Nationals of many countries can enter Switzerland visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or business purposes. Travelers from countries not exempt must apply for a Schengen visa before arrival.
