The dollar has increased in value against the Franc by 1.65 percent over the course of the last year, making it a good time to seize the opportunity to visit this otherwise costly destination. While day-to-day expenses are naturally higher in the Alps than in the Himalayas, it is considerably cheaper and easier to reach a European destination like Switzerland, particularly from the American east coast. This makes shorter vacations relatively more affordable if you keep your shopping in check—especially when it comes to clothing and shoes, which are unusually expensive here. Switzerland is the only nation that is entirely in Europe where the dollar has strengthened this year, so if a European getaway is your game, Switzerland is certainly in play.
