    There is a Doner Kebab place across from the hotel that will cost abut 6 quid for a Doner Kebab and there is a Chinese take away a bit further down the road for 9.60, a load of bread from the local Supermarket will cost 1 pound.


    In Zürich there are plenty of really expensive hotels and appartments but if you look around, it doesn't have to be expensive.

    I agree with the above, you may as well just get a contract around the corner and save yourself a lot of hassle.


    Thanks a lot ... much appreciated.

    Cheers

    Don't scrimp on hotels either.

    It depends on your definition of 'enough'. You're not going to starve.

    Consensus seems to be that Zurich is super expensive, so if you're on, say, £350 a day here, you're probably going to be worse off there. But if you're on £100 a day, you're probably quids in!
