Top Attractions in Thun
💡 Walk up the Obere Hauptgasse's covered staircases for a rooftop-level view of the river—hits the cobblestones before the crowds arrive around 10am.
💡 Pack a picnic and eat on the bench by the Schlossmatte pond—it's quieter than the main lawns and has the best view of the Swiss flag reflected in the water.
💡 Skip the paid museum entry if you're on a tight budget—the castle courtyard and views of the lake and Alps from the grounds are free and just as impressive.
💡 The ground-floor galleries are often free entry—check the website for 'Freier Eintritt' days, usually on first Saturdays. Otherwise, it's CHF 12 but worth it for the architecture alone.
💡 Go on the first Sunday of the month for half-price admission (CHF 5 instead of CHF 10). Combine with the nearby Schadaupark for a free walk.
