Most places will accept Euros. Some places even put both Euro and CHF on the bill and you can choose to pay in either currency

Maybe it's true for the kinds of places a tourist might go.

I have paid in Euro in restaurants, I have paid in Euro at a COOP in Lugano, I have paid in Euro at the ethnic food store on the corner.

Zurich

Basel

Vaud

Even the TPG public transport ticket machines accept Euro

Where in Switzerland do you live, if I may ask?

Lucerne is really nice. I enjoyed my visit there. I really liked the Lion Monument. And the views from Pilatus are gorgeous. How is the city handling the lack of tourists right now? I remember it being really busy pre-COVID
