Switzerland has three main carriers: Swisscom (historic state operator, largest nationwide coverage with 5G in all cities and accessible Alpine valleys), Sunrise (merged with UPC, broad urban 5G), and Salt (Iliad subsidiary, best value). The eSIM Ahora connects to the strongest network. Plugs are Type J (Swiss, unique — three round pins in a "+" shape), 230V — you need a Type J adapter or universal. 4G/5G coverage reaches Zurich, Geneva, Bern, Lucerne, Lugano, and the entire SBB rail network (including Glacier Express and Bernina Express).
Zurich (ZRH) and Geneva (GVA) airports offer fast unlimited free WiFi. The currency is the Swiss franc (CHF, NOT euro — Switzerland is NOT in the EU); UBS, Credit Suisse (now UBS), Raiffeisen, and PostFinance ATMs accept foreign cards with low commissions. Tips are 5-10% (sometimes already included). Switzerland is one of the world's most expensive countries — an espresso costs 5-6 CHF, a margherita pizza 22-28 CHF. Four official languages: German (62%), French (23%, west of Geneva), Italian (8%, Ticino), and Romansh (1%, Grisons).
