Swiss City Guide: One Day in Thun

Thun is a well-known city in Switzerland. With its lake, famous old town and the mountains, it is very popular, especially for tourists. You can see in Thun everything you are expecting from Switzerland.

Thun is very close to Bern the capital city of Switzerland. From the main station in Bern, you only need 20-30 Minutes.

The region all-around thun is full of mountains. I’m sure I will do a separate blog post for that too because it is simply too much to cover in one post.

Thun is a great starting point to a lot of great hikes which reward you with a breathtaking view. Most of the hikes will give you a view over the lake of Brienz and the thuner lake. Unfortunately, I haven’t been there so far, but I will show you as soon as I discovered the best hikes.

If you have still time you should go to at least one castle. Thun is known for its castles. First is the one in the town. It is very easy to get there and you almost see the castle from the train station. If you like castles you can view the castle of Thun in the old town.

But my recommendation is to visit the castle Schadau and the Schadaupark. It is a lovely castle with a nice little park around it. It is perfect to take a break and relax a little bit. Its located directly next to the lake of Thun
