Rules in force · 6The old town is cobbles and steep lanes
  • Switzerland ↗Switzerland is in the Schengen area but not the EU: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
  • Switzerland ↗Switzerland is outside the EU customs area: allowances on meat, alcohol and tobacco are strict and checked at borders.
  • Switzerland ↗Motorways need a vignette (sticker or e-vignette) before you drive on them.
  • Lake Geneva Region ↗Trains between Geneva, Lausanne and Montreux run all day; check the last train home before a late dinner.
  • Geneva ↗The old town is cobbles and steep lanes: bags go by tram or car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Geneva ↗Most shops and many restaurants close on Sunday; plan meals and errands for Saturday or Monday.
