Yelp Review 2026 #122:…read more A fun thing to do and an amazing place to visit. I got with a discount for being a Swiss Travel Pass holder. The bus stop is right in front of this place so it's super easy to get to. I got here a few minutes after they opened. So, there were quite a few people without being crowded. Except some of the people who were there were obnoxiously loud and it echoes through the cave. There are signs posted to be quiet but some people choose to ignore signs. There are parts that are a bit slick, some parts you have to bend a little bit as the ceiling is low, there are steps and stairs, it's chilly since it's a cave. Si, be sure to bring a jacket and wear the right shoes. Be mindful of those with mobility issues, they might have to wait for you at the restaurant (it's still a steep trek though) while you tour the cave. A lot of people would take breaks on the way to the entrance. Bring water. Each part of the cave is numbered so just follow the numbers - however the arrows can be confusing. I got to number 18 and didn't know where to go I ended going back to where I came from so I walked back to 18, walked the opposite direction and made it to 19-22 before exiting. "According to a legend, St. Beatus lived here in the 2nd century, who was believed to be one of the Irish messengers of the faith. After his arrival, Beatus is said to have driven away the dragon dwelling in the cave and then settled there to preach the teachings of Christianity and heal the sick." You'll see St. Beatus' cell, stalactites, stalagmites, and grottoes. You can have a nice view of Lake Thun from here.

WOOOOW! Absolutely incredible experience. The caves themselves are stunning. They were full of…read morebeautiful grottos, unique rock formations, and breathtaking scenery throughout. The views from the top and outside are truly magical, overlooking a massive lake that makes the entire visit feel surreal. QUICK heads-up... there is quite a bit of walking and many steps, and some areas can be slippery, so it may not be ideal for anyone with limited mobility. That said, if you're able to do the walk, it's 100% worth it. A truly beautiful and memorable experience.

Yelp Review 2026 #128:…read more I'm trying this concept of not having a Type A itinerary where I'm doing something at this place from this time to this time. Since I'm in Switzerland for 2 weeks, I can afford a few days of just winging it. That's how I stumbled upon Schloss Hünegg. I saw a building I thought was Schloss Hünegg but it wasn't it! It was private property - oops! It looks like there was an event here the day before because there were tents and tables that were being put away when I got here. The garden has a nice view of the lake and mountains. This was one of the castles I visited in Switzerland. It's easy to get to by bus and you have to walk through a park covered by trees.

Yelp Review 2026 #129:…read more A beautiful castle in Thun mixing medieval and Renaissance architecture styles. I came here a little too early so the castle, which now functions as a museum, was still closed. There's a restaurant which also opens at the same time as the castle/ museum. It's a 12th century castle bought by Bern in the 17th century and was turned over to private hands and was opened to the public in 1954. It can also be rented for weddings and events. The exterior is impressive. Apparently, the garden is quite nice too.

Who doesn't like a good visit to a medieval castle!?! This one was built in the 12th century and…read morewent though several updates and changes over the centuries. The castle museum covers five floors including both cultural and historic displays. Each floor was organized with a theme and the displays are also noted in English. There are also some educational points for kids as well as a gift shop on the first floor. At the top of the tower, there are 4 rooms with amazing views of the city. These were the best views I've seen and on a clear day you see for miles -- the mountains and landscapes across Switzerland! You can just image how much the area has changed over the centuries but I am sure the view was always amazing. This was a great museum with lots to see a do. I enjoyed the new exhibits in the attic area and the logical flow of the museum overall. Sometimes castles are cold and filled with a lot of nothing, but this was quite the opposite! It is an easy walk up from the train station and although paths are marked here and there, just use your eyes to follow the stairs up to the castle. Also, the old town area is also a cute spot to walk around and stop for lunch! Note the shortened hours in the winter: April to October : daily 10.00-17.00 November to January : every Sunday 13.00-16.00 (24th December to 31st December 2017 open daily) February and March : every day 13.00-16.00

Climb up the narrow stairs the way the inhabitants did nearly a millenia ago. There's even this one area where they played sound effects of a battle outside while you climbed up the stairs as if you're a defender inside the castle. Also, just the views of the city of Thun from the top of the castle is worth the price of admission alone! (Btw, your admission is free with some variations of the Swiss Travel Pass.)

This was such an awesome place to visit when in Hasli Valley in Bernese Oberland. It truly is a…read morenatural wonder, and no picture will really show the true beauty you will see in person. What's great about the Aares Gorge is that it can be visited rain or shine. You'll get a different perspective depending on the weather. Give yourself plenty of time here. It's about a mile walk (45-60 minutes) along the limestone gorge and through the tunnels. It's truly a unique experience that deserves a special trip. I've never seen anything quite like it. It really shows you the torrential power of glaciel water as it carves its way over time through the valley. There are 2 entrances with parking lots. We started at the west entrance and exited at the east side. There was so much to see in between (including a waterfall). There is also a view of cave entrances from the pathway that were built to house the military during WWII. Fortunately, they never had to use it. There are interesting facts displayed along the way. It's pretty much an easy walk until you get to the east side. There is more of an incline on your way up as well as some steps up the hill. Just plan your entrance accordingly if you have limited mobility. It worked out very well for us. We were rewarded with a beautiful view of the Alps when exiting at the east side. Our guide met us in the parking lot. You can return by train to your initial starting point as well. I also have one piece of advice that may be helpful to some. Don't even try to pronounce "Aareschlucht" if you're not proficient in German. It could come out sounding like another German word that is offensive. Lol! We were thankfully warned about it ahead of time. Just call it "Aare Gorge." Haha! I'm sure they here it all the time. We loved this experience so much!! There's so much to do here in the Canton of Bern. Make it a part of your trip when in Switzerland.
