Basic information Thun

The people of Thun love their town, and rightly so. A wide range of cultural and culinary delights, great shopping, and cosy squares make the town an ideal place to stroll around and while away the hours. The Zähringer town with its unique old town, breathtaking Schlossberg Castle, splendid leafy parks, and lakeside promenades against an impressive backdrop of mountains is by turns exciting, relaxing and dynamic.

If you like shopping, you'll love Thun! Europe's most beautiful shopping island is made for retail therapy. The old town features countless stylish boutiques housed in striking architecture. The buildings with raised ground floors and basements are unlike anything else to be found in Europe. Weekly and monthly markets, flea markets, and the wonderful Christmas market in December are further highlights in Thun's lively, lovely, inviting center.
