City in Switzerland

Interlaken

3 things to see

Interlaken sits between two lakes with the Jungfrau peaks as a backdrop, and while the adventure activities and mountain railways cost real money, the free lakeside walks and the Hoheweg promenade panorama are spectacular. Budget hostels here are well-established and cater specifically to travelers watching their spend, and self-catering keeps Swiss food costs in check. Trains link Interlaken to Bern, Lucerne, and onward to Zermatt. The shoulder months of late spring and early autumn bring lower lodging prices while the lake trails stay open.
