Do I need an international driving licence to drive in Switzerland. Just been having a conversation and was told that I do because they are not in the EU. Tried to find out but can't find a website to say I do, but also can't find one that says I don't. Can anyone confirm either way for me please.

Thanks
Phil

The UK Government say you can;
"Driving in Europe
You can use your Great Britain (GB) or Northern Ireland driving licence in all European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) countries, and Switzerland."

Thanks for your prompt reply RayC. I was panicking a bit because we leave tomorrow for Italy and planned to go through Switzerland. Perhaps I should have looked harder for the Website and I might have found the answer myself.

Thanks again
Phil
