Tipping · 🇨🇭
Tipping in Switzerland
Customary: 5%–10%. Service is included. Round up to the nearest franc or five.
At restaurants
What is customary: Service is usually already on the bill
Worked example
On a CHF50.00 bill, 5% is CHF2.50, so you would hand over CHF52.50.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about CHF15.00 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Service is included nearly everywhere, but a guide is tipped separately.
The money
Switzerland uses the Swiss Franc (CHF). Today 1 GBP is 1.0973 CHF.
Tipping in other countries
Customs vary by region, by venue and over time. Use your judgement and your eyes.
