Thun
3 things to see
Thun is a lakeside gateway to the Bernese Oberland, with a hilltop castle, a charming old town, and a turquoise lake that costs nothing to swim in. Wandering the cobbled old town and the covered medieval bridges over the Aare costs nothing, and the lakefront is free to enjoy on a warm day. It sits a short, cheap train ride from Interlaken and the Swiss capital Bern, making it an affordable base for the region. Summer is peak for swimming, but the shoulder months keep prices and crowds lower.
