Exchange DKK to Swiss Franc CHF

Don’t forget to buy Swiss Francs before your departure to Switzerland

Planning a trip to Switzerland? The first step is to get the local currency: the Swiss Franc (CHF). Switzerland is a very modern country, but that doesn’t mean credit cards are accepted everywhere. That’s why it’s a good idea to have some cash on hand during your stay. It’s also recommended to plan a travel budget – this will help you estimate how much DKK you should exchange to CHF.
