Many people connect Switzerland with Omega, Rolex and other world-known watches. Indeed, quite few come to know Switzerland via Swiss Watch. In addition, Switzerland is one of the richest countries with most developed economy and highest living standard in the world. Although Switzerland only represents a small part of Europe geographically, the abundant tourism resources there deliver greatest interest to tourists. Why not take your UnionPay card (card number starting with 62) to visit Switzerland and find more interesting things there?

Since that some of the merchants have yet to put up the UnionPay signage, cardholders may show their UnionPay cards upon the till and inquire about UnionPay acceptance.
