One of Switzerland's many iconic tourist attractions is the town of Thun. Surrounded by ethereal lakes and mountains, submerged in history and culture, housing enchanting castles is the picturesque place where you must definitely spend two to three days of your Switzerland vacation. 

Let us take you on a quick walk around the beautiful town of Thun and show you what your itinerary will look like. 

♦ Start your day with a good cup of coffee and Swiss pastries at one of the town’s many amazing cafes. These warm goodies will be the perfect start to your Thun tour.

♦ Head to the the Town Hall Square, one of the oldest brick houses in the town and immerse yourself deep into the history of the community 

♦ Take a walk around Thun’s Old Town and explore the lifestyle of the Thun locals. 

♦ Hop on a boat cruise at Lake Thun and witness the best of nature. The warming sunshine, the lush green mountains, and the calm breeze will be the ultimate relaxation ride. 

♦ Try the most indulgent fondue for lunch. If you like a savory taste, the infamous cheese fondue pairs best with the cool weather, and if you have a sweet tooth, the chocolate fondues are to die for! 

♦ Head over to the jaw-dropping Oberhofen Castle next. Be amazed by the beauty of nature around you whilst learning about the former residents of the castle. The view of the Bernese Alps from the top of the castle tower serves as the best backdrop for your pictures. After finishing the castle tour, head back to your hotel, and enjoy a good night’s sleep to prepare for the next day. 

♦ Start your second morning by heading to the Obere Schleuse. Unlike any other bridge, this wooden marvel built on top of the bluest and cleanest river will end up being the most captured location on your camera! 

♦ Visit the glorious Scherzinger Church next and see the breathtaking Roman and Gothic influence on this beautiful place of worship.

♦ Explore the Thun Castle full of historic stories and cultural displays. The glorious views of mountains and lakes from the castle are beyond imagination. 

♦ End your Thun tour by shopping for some iconic souvenirs such as world-renowned Swiss chocolates, swiss cheese, swiss knives, or Swiss watches! 

If you’re fond of outdoor activities, June to September is suitable weather for summertime and warm days. However, if you want to be enchanted by a snow-covered town, December to February are the ideal months to visit this town.
