Is Thun Worth Visiting

Thun is one of the most original towns in Switzerland. It occupies an admirable site within view of the Bernese Alps and is much overlooked by visitors pressing on to Interlaken. With its picturesque castle and quaint medieval center Thun (pronounced toon) is well worth a visit.

Should I stay in Thun or Interlaken?

I think I would prefer Thun, which is less touristy than Interlaken. Interlaken is not much more than a tourist spot, where folks base themselves for trips up to the peaks or to the mountain villages. There are lots of souvenir shops, hotels, & restaurants in Interlaken. On the other hand, Thun is a real Swiss town.

Is it worth visiting Interlaken?

Interlaken is worth visiting for one day. You can easily stroll the city within one hour. It is located between two lakes, hence is the name. It takes 30 min to walk from one lake to another.
