A lake well worth visiting — it’s beautiful, exciting, and full of charm. The boat driver, Mandy, is a wonderful person who speaks Arabic and gives a very engaging explanation. Highly recommended!

A must see when traveling to Switzerland. It is so stunning in the Fall. We had a small cook out to eat lunch, and enjoyed coffee and cake in the little coffee shop. Bring water and munchies and have a picnic....so worth it!

Beautiful. Sadly we arrived very late so the blue color was both so impressive. If you stay in a hotel nearby you receive a discount card which applies here and gives 50% off.

Stunning place to visit with well sign posted routes of where to walk. The boat guide was very informative.

This park was so beautiful with Autumn leaves. Trees in various colours added to its beauty. The boat ride was a pleasure.

Nice place! There is a restaurant that's more on the pricey side but super unique menu options. There is also a kids menu with nuggets an d pasta. There is also a playground for the kids. There is a nice nature trail hike option as well if you want to walk more. We came here for a quick stop but you have to pay to enter. I have a family of 5 and paid 33 CHF to get in. We'll worth it. The water is crystal clear and you get to see some large trout.

Blausee is one of the most beautiful lakes that i have seen in my life.

Lake Thun is an absolutely stunning and romantic lake! I visited in 2019 with my family, and it was truly a memorable experience. The lake offers breathtaking views, crystal-clear water, and many beautiful picnic spots to relax and enjoy nature. It’s a perfect place for couples and families alike — you’ll surely fall in love with the peaceful vibes and scenic surroundings. One of Switzerland 🇨🇭 most charming lakes! 🌄⛵✨

Lake Thun is absolutely stunning! The serene waters and beautiful surrounding hills create a perfect atmosphere for families. Our children loved exploring the lakeside, watching the ducks, and simply enjoying the fresh air. Plenty of space to walk, relax, and soak in the views. A truly memorable spot that’s perfect for a family outing!

Perfect place to see sunset 🌅!! No words to describe this beautiful place!! There is an accomodation where you can stay and enjoy alot!!

A dreamlike corner of Switzerland: Lake Thun Switzerland is breathtaking in every way, but Lake Thun has a special kind of magic. Surrounded by mountains, charming villages, and historic castles, it’s the perfect place to disconnect, breathe in fresh air, and marvel at nature. The water has a mesmerizing turquoise color, and every spot looks like it belongs on a postcard. Whether you’re sailing, strolling along the shore, or simply sitting down to take in the view, this lake offers peace and beauty in its purest form.

Enjoyed this boat ride especially on a nice weather day. View was gorgeous.

Lake Thun has absolutely amazing scenery. We spent almost an entire day there and still couldn't get enough. Starting in the morning, we enjoyed the view from St. Beatus Cave, getting a panoramic picture of the lake from above. Then we continued our adventure by ship, circling the lake and savoring every corner. The lake has very clear water, with beautiful typical farmhouses and the Swiss Alps in the background, adding to the picturesque setting. Every corner of the lake was stunning, perfect for healing and taking a break from your busy life.

The morning view of Lake Thun from Beatenberg is simply breathtaking and worth waking up early for.

We were in the area on vacation and decided to take a train down to Thun and look around. The castle is very prominent on the skyline and looks quite interesting. We walked though the building and looked at the various displays which were well done. Centuries of history briefly summarized. The building itself is the main attraction. We went all the way to the top into the corner towers. The roof structure was amazing. Definitely recommend!

Castle Thun is a must-see when visiting the town! The displays and information are well-curated, making it easy to explore everything in just 2–3 hours. There are also interactive sections, like the wooden architecture exhibit in the attic and rooftop area, and the fascinating collection of ancient armors and weapons. The castle is well-maintained, easy to navigate, and offers a great balance of history and experience.

Worth the trip. The castle is stunning and you can see artefacts of the Old Swiss Confederacy, such as halberds, tapestries and armors. The Knight's room and the room under the roof where particularly stunning. On top of that, 4 towers flanking the roof are accessible and give you wonderful views of the city

The basic castle tour was interesting, but I was disappointed to find that there were virtually no period furnishings in any of the rooms. The audio tour aid added tremendously to the understanding of the castle history. Look closely, though, to find the signs which indicate when to use the audio aid. I recommend paying the extra fee to use it. I enjoyed the views from the tower. I paid extra for the special exhibit, which I didn't feel was worth the fee; skip it unless you are interested in forms of medieval punishment.

Definitely do the audio tour if you come here! Beautiful castle with a lot of history and amazing views from the top! No need to book tickets in advance

Thun castle does not match the vibe of other castles of Switzerland like Gruyère castle and Chillion castle. The castle is poor in terms of content and exhibits. Not much to explore inside. The staff is very friendly and there are free locker rooms available to keep your luggage. The best part was the top level of Thun castle from where you get 4 different panoramic views of Thun city and Lake Thun. If you are visiting Thun city then definitely visit this place otherwise skip it. Entry to Thun castle is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

The view from above was nice. We had a walk and took some pictures. It’s worth a visit if you’re passing by the city!

Old Town Bern is picturesque both in the day and night. Can take Bus 12 from main square to Bear Park and return. If you stay in hotel, can get activation code for free bus ride in Bernapp. Else, can park at Casino car park but it's expensive.

Visiting the Zytglogge was a highlight of my trip to Bern. This 13th-century clock tower is not just a beautiful landmark, it’s a piece of living history. I arrived a few minutes before the hour and was amazed by the mechanical figures and the precise chime—it feels like stepping back in time. The surrounding Old Town streets are charming, full of cafés and little shops, making it a perfect spot to explore after watching the show. Whether you love history, architecture, or just a great photo opportunity, the Zytglogge is a must-see in Bern.

Walking through Bern’s Old Town, I stumbled upon Bim Zytglogge and was instantly charmed. The area around the clock tower feels like a slice of history—cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and the hourly show of mechanical figures on the astronomical clock. It’s a lively spot, with locals and tourists mingling, and plenty of cafés and shops nearby.

Such a nice Watch tower. Very interesting and of course, full of historical events to tell from it and its city, Bern. Really a great stop-by spot, a must when you'd like to see the spectacle of the watch with its figures moving at 6pm.

Its a big old clock. There is some entertaining bits on the west side every hour but dont expect anything dramatic like a giant cuckoo clock. Pretty cool though for an 800 year old piece of work.

Each corner of this town will make you feel to walking back in time. Such a beautiful place. You can visit the clock tower from inside for 10 chf

Zytglogge (Clock Tower) was built in 1220 as part of Bern’s western gate, becoming a civic clock tower after the city expanded. The astronomical clock was added in 1530 with moving figures such as bears, a jester, and Chronos, which perform each hour.

Marvelous architecture. You can just sit inside for hours. The tower is a bit of hard climb but it is beyond worth it. The view from the top is amazing. You can see the entire city and the river. Really love it, highly recommended.

The Cathedral of Bern is truly a stunning landmark with impressive architecture and a commanding presence in the city. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to go inside or climb the tower due to the opening hours — we arrived in the evening and left the next morning. It was a bit disappointing and sad, as we would have loved to explore it fully. Even from the outside, the cathedral is beautiful and worth visiting. A must-see for anyone in Bern, and definitely a reason to plan a longer visit next time!

Visited the Bern Cathedral and the climb to the top is definitely worth it. The view from up there is crazy, you can see the whole city, the river, everything. It’s one of those spots where you just stop and take it all in. At the top, there was this older gentleman working there who was honestly one of the highlights. He was super friendly and took the time to explain what we were looking at, the history, the mountains in the distance, and some really interesting details we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. Just a really good, genuine conversation. Made the experience feel personal. The cathedral itself is beautiful and detailed, but that view and the kindness up top really made it memorable.

**⛪✨ Awe-Inspiring Moments at Bern Cathedral! ✨⛪** Just stepped inside the **Bern Cathedral (Berner Münster)**—Switzerland’s tallest cathedral—and I’m utterly speechless! 😍 Soaring **100 meters high**, this Gothic masterpiece took my breath away with its intricate stone carvings, towering spire, and the **stunning stained glass windows** that bathe the nave in kaleidoscope colors. 🌈 Don’t miss the **Last Judgment sculpture** above the main portal—a jaw-dropping work of medieval art with over 200 figures! And if you’re up for a climb, the **344-step tower ascent** rewards you with sweeping views of Bern’s red rooftops, the Aare River, and the snow-capped Alps in the distance. 🏔️📸 **Pro tip**: Visit early to avoid crowds, and wear comfy shoes for the tower climb (totally worth it!). The cathedral’s peaceful interior is free to enter, but toss a few coins for the tower—it supports preservation! 💙

The main portal of Bern Minster is one of the most complete collections of Late Gothic sculpture. The tympanum depicts the Last Judgment, carved entirely by Erhard Küng, which gives the ensemble a remarkable unity of design. The wicked are shown naked on the right and the righteous clothed in white on the left, while in the center Archangel Michael holds a raised sword, overseeing the fate of souls. Flanking the doors, the left side depicts the five Foolish Virgins, the right side the Wise Virgins. The Dance of Death (Danse Macabre) stained glass window in Bern Minster was created in 1519 and depicts skeletons leading people from all walks of life—kings, clergy, peasants, and children—toward death, emphasizing the inevitability and universality of mortality. Bern Minster (Berner Münster), begun in 1421 and completed with its 100-metre tower in 1893, is the tallest church in Switzerland and a landmark of late Gothic architecture. It became Protestant in 1528 during the Reformation. The church has a three-aisled basilica plan with slender columns, high rib-vaulted ceilings, and flying buttresses supporting the nave, exemplifying the vertical emphasis and detailed craftsmanship typical of the late Gothic.

The church provided vital history about city and people. Always fascinating to see evolution of architecture over the centuries. Amazing how items like seating areas have been preserved since the late 1400’s.

Get the chance to go all the way up to see the city of Bern with a panoramic view. It costs 6chf to go up, but you will enjoy it. Just make sure to be a bit fit as it is a lot of stairs. The last entrance is at 16h30.

If you love historic buildings, Bern’s Old City is a must-see. The medieval architecture is stunning, and the streets are beautifully clean and well-organized. Shops are thoughtfully placed, so you can enjoy the views while exploring. A truly charming and unforgettable experience!

In my opinion, Bern's old town is one of the most beautiful and compact in the world. Its specialty is the arcades formed by the old buildings lining the streets. The arcades are lined with shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, etc. It is worth walking around the old town, also along the banks of the Aare River, and climbing to the Rosengarten to admire the magnificent view of the old town. Every time I visit Bern I feel amazed.

LOVE this pretty place! So historic and colorful, tons of lovely photo spots! Love the iconic fountain and huge clock tower, as well as all the cute trains and buses that came in different shapes and sizes 🚂🚌🇨🇭❤️. Was glad I dropped by Bern - after all it’s the capital of Switzerland, and a must drop by imo, even if it’s for a short day trip! 😆 I was really happy to be here 🥰👍.

I was recenly in Bern: what a wonderful place...!!! Right size and location, and enjoyed the sun and the rain while sketching! I"ll certainly be back!!! PS, A novel to recommend placed in Bern: Damnation, by Peyer Beck

A beautiful town, probably the nicest in Switzerland. In the morning it is less crowded and the streets are well conserved. The prices are really high, which makes the costs hardly affordable for foreigners

You are unwinding the clock back 500 years ago to experience the lifestyle in medieval time. The old street (made of sandstones), clock tower, cathedral surrounded by garden and river are breathtaking.

Beautiful and quaint little old town in the capital of Switzerland! I got there early so the streets were rather empty and it was nice taking a slow stroll down this street. The street was lined with familiar brands/shops, the trams ran down both sides and I almost felt like I was transported back to medieval times - except the modern shops bring me back to the present. If you walk further down, you’ll end up at the Bear Pit, another little tourist attraction of Bern.

Skydive Interlaken delivered a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience! Yvonne was an absolute gem — friendly, calm, and professional — and went above and beyond to rectify a situation with another company, ensuring everything went smoothly. From start to finish, the team made me feel safe, supported, and at ease, even while my nerves were running high. The views, the adrenaline, and the professionalism of everyone involved made this an unforgettable adventure. I am so grateful for the care and attention that made this jump such a memorable and exhilarating experience. 🪂

What an experience it was! Highly recommended for anyone seeking that ultimate thrill. What truly stood out was the warmth and professionalism of their amazing team. Hannah, my instructor, was incredibly confident and reassuring, while Yvonne captured some fantastic shots as I made the jump. The view of Interlaken from above was absolutely breathtaking! A huge thank you to Christian for ensuring everything went smoothly and we had an unforgettable experience!

5 stars all the way! The staff was professional, friendly and welcoming in their communication, facilities, instruction and equipment. Lorenzo was fantastic to jump with for my first time nerves. If you’re doubting just do it. It’s been a week since I did this and I am still buzzing from the rush. I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again! 🤩 🙌🏻

Had an absolutely amazing experience skydiving with Skydive Interlaken! My instructor Leon was awesome — super calm, friendly, and made the whole jump feel safe and exciting at the same time. Everyone there was super chill and welcoming, which made the whole vibe even better. Got really lucky that a spot opened up on my last day, and I’m so glad it did! Definitely an experience I’ll never forget — highly recommend it to anyone visiting Interlaken! 💯

Me and my wife went skydive with them on 11th October 2025, We booked 9AM Interlaken skydive, but 1 day before, their team contacted us and telling that Interlaken will be cloudy on 9am and offer us an free upgrade to Lauterbrunnen skydive on 12pm which they said the weather will be much better. (And they are 100% correct with the weather forecast 💯💯) So far, this is the best and most exciting activity i did in my life! We also want to thanks Craig & Dante who are very proffesional and those guys are really chill. They make our jump easy and really fun. I recommend them if you want to book a skydive. Thanks again guys, can't wait for the next jump 👍

I went skydiving this past April and it was the greatest experience I have ever had. Everyone at Skydive Interlaken was so welcoming and reassuring. Surprisingly for the situation at hand, I never thought I would feel as safe as I did. Mike was my instructor and I could not be more thankful that he was, I could not have asked for a better person to jump out of a helicopter with. For everyone who is questioning skydiving or facing your fears, do it and do it scared. You will not regret it and you will make the best memories out of it. It is a life changing experience and I’ve never been happier. Live your life!!!

Overall 10/5 experience. Pickup near our Airbnb was very convenient. When we got to the diving area the people there heard we were going to Lauterbrunnen and offered to do our dive there instead! For the dive itself we ended up having a lot of overcast so were delayed. However our instructors Rich and Hannah were amazing at keeping us informed and making good conversation, and eventually we moved to another place because we had told them we’re leaving the next day and couldn’t do another day. Very accommodating! Actual jump was a phenomenal experience. My actual favorite thing I’ve done on a vacation, and Rich made the whole experience amazing and even accommodate some of my jump requests. Great guy! Highly recommended experience, book asap.

An amazing experience and a chance to see some brown bears in real life. Great for kids but also adults who miss their childhood. Right next to the river, the park is both scenic and entertaining.

I recently visited the Bear Park in Bern and it was such a delightful experience! Nestled along the scenic banks of the Aare River, the park offers a peaceful and natural environment where bears roam freely in spacious enclosures that mimic their natural habitat. The bears looked healthy and well cared for, and it was heartwarming to see them play, rest, and interact with their surroundings. The park is free to enter, which makes it a wonderful stop for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing moment in the city. It’s also just a short walk from the old town, so it’s easy to include in a day of sightseeing. Overall, Bear Park is a beautiful blend of nature, education, and conservation. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bern!

It’s quite astonishing to see a bear park right in the middle of the city — a truly unique setting. The enclosure is spacious, well-designed, and blends beautifully with the natural surroundings along the river. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it as comfortable as possible for the bears. Still, it’s a reminder that the animals are in captivity, which can feel a bit bittersweet despite the excellent care they receive.

The views are quite beautiful, and the bears are adorable, but I feel terrible they don't have more space to roam around in. They did build a little section in the river so when it is hot, the bears can at least cool down and fish :)

Love that they have a bear refuge near the city. They have so much room to roam. I would suggest adding more signs not to feed the bears or be fined. I saw some stupid kid form a different country throw something down in the bear area and the parents didn’t do anything.

Fantastic river walk along the Aare ends up at Bear Park. Complete with Bears! Stop off to spend some CHF for beers and food up top for great views.

Very nice attraction in the center of the town with a rare chance to see from close range real bears 🐻 very well designed for the wellbeing of the wild animals including also a swimming pool. Definitely a Must visit in the area

Very nice park at the top of Bern city, offering a place to rest and fantastic view. The restaurant is ideal to take a break from a walking tour, having all the city in "the plate". Very nice place for panoramic photos of the city and the river. A must visit

We were not able to have a table by the side, with the amazing view as we had not made a reservation. We came here on a whim. We were given 2 other seating options, 1 which we were warned we would be hit by the sun soon and the other on the other side near the kids playground on the high chair stools and table. The waitress who served us was super busy, there was a large party of 10 or so and lots of other small tables she was serving. She did her best to keep everyone happy. There was a bit of a wait time to order. Once the food came, it tasted good. However due to being summer, wasps started to appear and take over. The toilets are inside, downstairs, they were clean. Upon exiting the building we saw a huge amount of salad plates ready to go just sat on the side. Overall, it was good.

Nice restaurant with a beautiful view of the city. In a hot summer day you will not be able to dine inside because it’s extremely hot and there isn’t AC. We dined at the patio and unfortunately were invaded by dozens of flies as soon as our food was received. We prompted to move everything inside. Service is mediocre.

I loved it. They place is very nice and clean, with outstanding views. Service is great and fast. I took the chicken sandwich for a quick lunch and it was very good.

Great place and truly scenery. Quality service and quality food. Thanks to the Chef and team. I’ll repeat the visit whenever back to Bern. If you choose to come from the down town of Bern; be prepared to pull enough energy to walk up thru the hill, which is a nice little warm up and workout before arriving to the restaurant. Also, it’ll be great to spot coupe or bears from the bridge while heading to the restaurant.

A must stop for a lunch or coffee with view over Bern, amazing. The food was good too, especially the middle eastern mixed platter

Great food, went there for the fondue but turned out fondue only runs trough the winter and spring which we didn’t know. But all was good and amazing view over the city The photo is from winter which we had a coffee and chocolate warm milk, nice

By far one of the best trails I’ve ever seen! We did a combination of biking (2 hours) and hiking (1 hour), and the views from the top were absolutely stunning — the kind that make you truly appreciate life and nature. I even teared up a bit, just taking in how beautiful the world is and feeling grateful to witness it. We had a picnic at the shed on top, and it was such a wonderful experience. ✨🍃

Great place!!! Amazing views, souvenir shop and free Alpina garten. And it's free if you have a birthday, just show your ID at the ticket office.

Schynige Platte in Wilderswil, Switzerland from nearby Interlaken welcomes you with the sound of alphorns as you step off the cogwheel train, setting the mood for a clear alpine day. The air feels crisp, the short hikes are easy, and the views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau are everywhere you look. Wildflowers dot the trails, benches invite quiet breaks, and the crowd is refreshingly thin compared to other spots nearby. Nature feels close here, and it’s an easy escape if you want a classic Swiss alpine experience without heavy climbing. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the region.

Takes around an hour to go up with the vintage train. But it's def worth it. So many options for hiking and you can see both lakes and the Eiger from the top. Don't forget to buy a ice cold Slushy after hiking - so refreshing!

Schynige Platte is one of the most breathtaking destinations in the Bernese Oberland and an absolute must-visit when in the Interlaken region. The journey up on the historic cogwheel train is a highlight in itself—slow, scenic, and full of charm, offering panoramic views of Lake Thun and the surrounding mountains. Once at the top, you're rewarded with truly stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The landscape feels almost unreal, with alpine meadows, dramatic peaks, and traditional Swiss chalets dotting the area. The Botanical Alpine Garden is a quiet treasure, showcasing hundreds of native plants. It’s perfect for a relaxed stroll or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air. For hikers, there are several beautiful trails, including the Panorama Trail, which lives up to its name. Everything is well-marked and suitable for both casual walkers and more experienced hikers. There’s also a cozy mountain restaurant where you can enjoy local food with incredible views. Schynige Platte combines natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and traditional Swiss charm. Whether you go for hiking, photography, or just to take in the views, it’s a truly unforgettable experience.

Absolutely superb. This is a must visit and walk. It's traditional swiss at its best. The train up is delightful and from the station there are numerous walks; we did a 2.5 mile amble, via Daube and Oberberghorn. Word of warning: the viewpoint at Oberberghorn is up a step ladder and you can also get a view from a suspended walkway! The rest of the walk is far less scary! The views of Brienzersee are magnificent. Alongside the swiss meadowland and herd of cows complete with cowbells - absolutely delightful. The restaurant is good - there's a voucher in the Jungfrau Passport which gets you an apple strudel and coffee for a discounted price. The Alpen Garten is good although to be honest the natural wild meadows are far better. We were also fortunate to be there when a trio of swiss played their Alpen Horns, and an individual in the Alpen Garten gave some great solos. Definitely worth a visit.

Schynige Platte offers a scenic train journey from Wilderswil on an old train to the plateau in 52 minutes. The train allows you to open the windows, so you can take pictures of the views along the way. During the train ride, you will be treated to views of Lake Thun, Lake Brienz, and the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau. Do note that the train ride can be uncomfortable for people with back problems due to the lack of support and cushions.

We visited on a bit of an overcast day but the skies cleared and offered spectacular views of Interlaken. We purchased the special ticket offering return trip on the Harder Klum Funicular and a set lunch menu at the Panorama restaurant at the top. Great value. The trip is also wheelchair accessible however you need to locate the back entrance which is further up the road from the main boarding area, on the first side entrance on the left. Well worth the visit.

Absolutely amazing! The funicular is super fun and the views at the top are insane — mountains, lakes, everything. The viewing platform is a must, and the restaurant has great vibes too. Perfect spot for sunset. Don’t miss it if you’re in Interlaken 👍

The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking — definitely one of the best panoramas in Switzerland. The ride up was smooth and easy, and once you get there, the viewing platform makes it feel like you’re floating above Interlaken. We loved taking our time at the top just soaking in the mountains, the lakes, and the fresh air. Such a peaceful and memorable place. Totally worth the trip — highly recommended!

We recently visited Harder Kulm, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Located above the beautiful town of Interlaken, this panoramic viewpoint offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, lakes, and the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The journey to the top is an adventure in itself taking a funicular ride from Interlaken up to the summit ( there happens to be a pretty steep hike as well that can take you up there) was smooth, comfortable, and gave us our first taste of the stunning alpine scenery. Once at the top, we were greeted with a 360-degree vista that truly took our breath away. The observation platform is perfect for photos, and we spent quite a while just soaking in the views. We also had a chance to explore the area a little more, with well-maintained paths leading to even more scenic spots around the summit. One of the highlights was the viewing platform's ( also referred to as the two lakes bridge as you get to see the Thun and Brienz lakes) glass floor.Stepping out onto it felt like flying over the town of Interlaken, and it was a thrilling experience. For those who are a bit more adventurous, there also are a couple of hikes around ( one’s simple the other being a challenging strenuous hike) where you can feel completely surrounded by nature and mountains. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the warm atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing day out or an adventure in the mountains, Harder Kulm delivers both in spades. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and it's definitely worth the visit!

Fun steep ride up to the view point. Unfortunately the weather fogged up and stares to rain. We took some quick pictures and headed back to beat the crowds on the return trip. This was included in our travel pass so we figured we'd check it out no matter the weather.

After a short funicular ride, the view from top of Harder Kulm was fantastic, even on a semi-cloudy day. I really enjoyed the visit.

Visited Harder Kulm with my wife and kid and absolutely loved it. The view from the top is breathtaking, overlooking Interlaken and the lakes. The funicular ride was smooth and scenic, and the viewpoint is perfect for family photos. A wonderful experience for all ages

We decided to drive here on our way from Switzerland up to France, did not realize that we had to go over a mountain and back down to get there, but it was worth it. It really is in the middle of nowhere. They have lots of neat animals here, the Lynx was my favorite. My daughter and I had a really nice time walking around and seeing all the animals.

This Zoo has special vibe and give different experience while compare to Basel & Zurich Zoos. This is not bigger, but you can definitely spot or picture the animals without any disappointment very closer to you, especially White tigers, Bengal tigers & Lion. Nice place to spend your time with family and kids. Highly recommend to visit this Zoo during summer season, as some animals are not come outside in winter time.

Great, never been that close to a lion. Siky are doing a great job for the animals, they have plenty of space. We enjoyed are visit, our daughter had a lovely time looking at the animals, and she could actually see the animals. She enjoyed the playground and Siky express, the little train. Some 5 hours well spent time. My wife kept saying I love this zoo. Strongly recommend a visit. And we will go back thats for sure.

Love this place and mission ❤️ my kids was very happy to see tiger and lion. We've been there on 5.12, got present from Santa, drink warm wine and great soup! I'll back here in next few months

Definitely worth a visit! it’s very exciting place for kids with wide variety of animals including bengal tigers and lions. You are allowed to feed deers and lamas from the food sold at ticket counter. Recommended to visit on a sunny day.

One of the best zoos

Middle of nowhere but worth the trip. Nicely maintained. Animals are pretty near which makes it awesome.

A captivating castle, or rather, a charming ruin, providing a picturesque setting to appreciate nature and the night sky. Occasional events, including fires on special occasions like New Year's Eve and some weekends featuring alcohol and food, add to the allure. The castle boasts a cozy atmosphere and surprisingly low light pollution, creating an ideal environment for star gazing.

Beautiful views from the top of the old castle ruins, and informative boards guide you through the structure. A nice way to spend 1-2 hours on a little hike. Not suitable for people less able to walk or baby buggies.

Nice castle ruins with a good view over the valley.

It's a nice, short hike up to the castle ruins. Great place for a picnic on a sunny day, very scenic.

Fantastic excursion goal. Calm, beutyful, harmonic...

This is a lovely place to visit. The ruins of the castle offer fantastic views across the whole Sundgau region, onto the Jura, Vosges, and Schwarzwald beyond. Ferrette is a nice little town with a few nice restaurants and Saturday market. Well worth the visit.

Very nice for walking(slight climb) with or without your pets. Very nice view of the surroundings once on top. Beautiful ruins from the castle.

This zoo os great with kids. The surounding are made with so many details in mind, everything is green when you walk around. My kids and I loved it. There is great food stations too, amany animals. Especially the aquarium part is super big and nice too. The only downside, its in the middle of the city of Basel, a little hard to get too.

Love love this place- I went pretty late (4-6pm). Although I skipped the crowds, some of the animals were already in their enclosures (not in exhibit), but it didn’t detract from my joy of being there. Loved the vivarium, farm animals, snow leopard, flamingos, meerkats, and penguins. I would have loved to be able to see the new hippo baby though :(.

Zoo was good for a city zoo. I don't want to spoil it so only posted a miniscule amount of photos. I loved going into the bird house. It had some levels to it so find the elevator or stairs. Spent from just after 9am until 4pm.

It is very convenient. With stroller we could go through the whole Zoo. We were lucky we could see all the animals. They have huge space in the restaurant & also banks everywhere to sit.

A very nice zoo – not too big, not too small. There’s a great variety of animals, and even on rainy days you can enjoy several indoor areas. We always love coming here!

It's a very strange and beautiful place. They let the penguins walk freely in the zoo. However, the path was very clean. The staff there were very kind. Everything was good. I was there for 6 hours and I didn't want to leave at all. It was very enjoyable to be with the animals. I wish they were free in the wild, but the animals are having fun there too. The animals are definitely happy there. I recommend you to go there to enjoy being with nature.

What a lovely zoo- lots to see with a variety of animals. I particularly liked the giraffe enclosure. There was also a lovely coffee shop and gift shop near the entrance.

Wow! We wish we had had more time to see all the amazing art! Quiet and clean. Lockers for backpacks- easy to use. Put this on your to do list when you are in Basel. Give yourself 3 hours at least.

This museum is truly the treasure of Switzerland, imagine MoMA & The Met combined in one address. As an active art lover and collector, I have not spent too much time in this museum before unfortunately, as I had only been there for events during Art Basel week. Finally I had the chance to come back to Basel and dedicate some time for a thorough visit and viewing last week, and it was for nearly 6 hours, and every moment was well spent. The museums have two buildings connected by an underground tunnel, with vast permanent collections from Renaissance & Early Modern (15th-16th c.) with strong holdings from the Upper Rhine: Hans Holbein the Younger, the Amerbach Cabinet origins; 17th-18th Centuries, Flemish and Dutch masters (like Rubens, Rembrandt); 19th Century of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Symbolism. Simply impressive collections from Monet, Cézanne, Manet, Van Gogh. Swiss artists too, such as Ferdinand Hodler. Then the 20th Century including major movement coverage: Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Constructivism with Important works from artists: Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian etc. The collections from this era at this museum impressed me the most this time! The Post Modern / contemporary collections are also worthy investigating, from Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Helen Frankenthaler, Miriam Cahn, Dan Flavin, Kara Walker, Bruce Nauman, Calder and more. There are plenty of rooms to wonder with comfortable sofas in and out the exhibition halls, so you could really take time to experience the art, and it is never too crowded with too many phone cameras or noises around. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, very refreshing especially compared with other major museums around the world. Highly recommend it for art enthusiasts, families and it is a must visit when in Basel.

wonderful museum in the heart of Basel city. The two buildings offer a wider variety of historic and contemporary art. Well curated . Definitely a must go for a Basel visit.

The entry price is quite high, but if you’re into modern and contemporary art, there’s plenty to explore. The collection includes works by Picasso,Van Gogh, Kandinsky, and Holbein, among other major names. The architecture itself is impressive. clean, modern, and beautifully designed. Worth visiting if you enjoy art museums.

The paintings were good but to be honest they were not great! It felt mediaeval and repeated with the paintings and the work structures. The museum has an old museum and the new and of the two, I think the new section is good. Because of the reviews and recommendations on Google, one gets eager and also excited to visit this museum but for me it was just an ordinary museum with no great paintings on display. However the most humane and exceptional part of the museum visit are the people who manage the ticket counters and offices. They are kind, gracious and always always ready to help and assist. I would remember the visit to the most gracious lady sitting at the ticket counter, who asked me to check for the Basel card and advised me to call the hotel for the digital copy to save me some money. Also at the same time a couple offering me to share their card with me, even asking me if they can pay half the amount for me. That was generous of them, I assured them that money is not the issue but the kind lady just wanted to save my money. I got the card through my mail in about 15 minutes and more than me the lady at the counter was happy. That's the beauty of Basel and its people! I took the tour and was happy to not miss it because it was more than a tour for me. The building is amazingly attractive and thoughtfully built. The surrounding area is just like another place within the old World charm of that area, just a few minutes away from the munster!

This was the most humiliating and hostile museum experience I have ever had. An employee wrongly accused me of taking a photo, which I was not, then followed me upstairs. He walked back and forth with another staff member, laughing and staring at me. Later, he deliberately waited for me, locked eyes, and stood there until I spoke. When I asked why he was staring, we had a full conversation where he mocked me, laughed at me, and bullied me instead of acting professionally. It felt like he wanted to provoke me into a confrontation. I am a quiet, respectful visitor, and it felt like he singled me out as an easy person to intimidate. Instead of enjoying the art, I was harassed until I left the museum in tears. For such an expensive ticket, this treatment is completely unacceptable. A museum should be a place of inspiration and safety, not surveillance, intimidation, and humiliation. I strongly recommend avoiding this museum if you expect basic respect as a visitor.

It's nice. Not outstanding. The collection is a bit of a random mix and it's curated in a strange way. Not that much art really, but I did like the medieval art they had.

Impressive red building.... incredible architecture. The atrium with its stunning murals and the imposing statue is very interesting. It is located in the center of the city and certainly stands out because of its color.... free entry to the atrium is allowed!

The Rathaus (town hall)—very impressive red building with rich decorations inside. Seems like you need a tour to fully explore it though.

Basel Town Hall stands as an impressive cultural keepsake of the city. It is highly recommended to check out if you are close by, it also serves as a basis for the centre of the city and often has many pop-up shops close by and restaurants as well. There is a lot of history here if you’re wanting to know more about the city.

Basel city center can be explored in one day. Very atmospheric and the old city beautiful cathedral and red town hall! At Christmas festive atmosphere. very crowded and fun

Very beautiful symbol of Basel, don't forget to enter the yard, it's amazing too!

Brightly coloured bright red bricks with lots of character inside.

A very special municipal building surrounded by lots of clothing and food shops, a very picturesque and crowded area

Definitely worth the visit, the building is beautifully crafted. If you walk behind the building you will have an excellent view overlooking the River. Lots of people were having picnics and relaxing here.

Solo travelers are not allowed to climb the towers, for suicide prevention reasons. You can find another tourist and ask to accompany them, but without the employee seeing this. Don't let them know you are strangers. There's a small fee to climb the towers and it's well worth it. Basel Minster was built between the 11th and 16th centuries in a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles. After the 1356 earthquake, it was significantly rebuilt incorporating Gothic elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large stained-glass windows. The cathedral is made of red sandstone and is notable for its two main towers, St. George’s and St. Martin’s, and its patterned tile roof. The Minster served as the Catholic cathedral until the Reformation in 1529, after which it became a Reformed Protestant church. The Gallus Gate at Basel Minster is the oldest Romanesque figure portal in the German-speaking world, built around 1185. In the tympanum is Christ as Judge of the World, accompanied by Peter and a donor figure, while the lintel below shows the Parable of the Ten Virgins. During the Reformation in Basel (1529), iconoclasm took place at Basel Minster as part of the city’s shift from Catholicism to Protestantism. Religious images, statues, and altars that were seen as idolatrous were removed or destroyed. The interior today remains relatively bare compared to its original medieval design.

It was originally built in the 1000’s as a Roman Catholic Cathedral and became a Protestant church. There’s no fee to get in the church but there’s a fee to go up the top. Behind the church is the Rhine River.

Don’t miss the chance to reach the top of the church. While climbing, it might seem like you’ve reached the end, but be sure to check—there’s a good chance there’s a way to go even higher."

Had a free walk around then spotted people paying to go up the towers. We tried this for a small charge and it's well worth the steep steps to go to the 3 levels available. Bit tight at times depending on how many people go up but numbers are controlled.

A very beautiful and nice cathedral! You can have an amazing view over Basel from the top!

Basel Minster is absolutely worth a visit! I’ve climbed several church towers across Switzerland, but this one had the narrowest spire staircase I’ve ever squeezed through! It’s a bit of a tight spiral toward the top, but that only adds to the adventure. Once you reach the viewing platform, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Basel, the Rhine, and even into France and Germany on a clear day. The cathedral itself is beautifully maintained, with intricate stonework and a peaceful courtyard. It’s a perfect mix of charm, challenge, and postcard-worthy scenery. Don’t miss it!

Brilliant and ecological

2 Francs well spent such a lovely way to cross the river

It takes only a couple of minutes to get from one shore to the other but it's great fun. Also, the ticket for this unique vehicle is surprisingly cheap.

Very nice ferry boat over the Rhein. Very friendly and helpful ferry boat man. Loved it.

Contemporary crossing of river Rhein, on a traditional ferry. 😍

great experience! recommended to anyone visiting Basel especially with kids

Fun cheese fondue on the Rhine ferry

The wooden covered bridge in Bad Säckingen is truly impressive and full of history. Crossing it feels like walking into another time, with the Rhine flowing below and beautiful views all around. It’s amazing that such a long wooden bridge still connects Germany and Switzerland today. A must-see landmark!

interesting, beautiful, great history,simply cool bridge across rhine river. 440 years old...

Extraordinary structure and well worth a visit

Well maintained bridge from 1888. One of couple Rhein borders between CH and DE. Nice place to chill out - there is a bench to sit and relax.

Favourite crossing into Germany. The other end immediately opens to the city square. There is even a marking of the border midway (white line).

Nice bridge! With nice views.

Historical bridge, with a great view. 800 years old, connecting Germany and Switzerland over the Rhein.

great experience as a soloista..i really enjoyed the view,every part of it.worth the long walk because i just walk to get here,no plans at all.on top is a real great view of deutschland and even nearby countries...

Very nice preserved old ruin that you can walk up to fairly easily if you have average mobility. Good views on clear days. You can also choose to go up the sloping ramp or up the steps. We went up one way then down the other. After all this excercise you can treat yourself to a well earned coffee and cake.

Incredibly beautiful. Great view from the top. The town is awesome so if your in this area you must see it.

Very nice place to visit over the weekend together with the Roman baths. Beautiful place to walk around in nature, enjoy the thermal baths and to eat traditional food.

FREE ENTRY. Well maintained castle ruins. You can go to the lookout point to have a view of the town. Would recommend doing the castle ruins with the roman ruins nearby.

Nice area for hiking. Beautiful view from the top of the hill

It's a bit hard to find. Enter the park/garden and just keep going up. It's not visible from the road. When you get there, the views are amazing!

As a foreigner visiting this place, it was a bit confusing, navigating the labyrinth of pools, hallways, locker rooms, and entrances that required a key fob. That said, this place has a lot of history and is a popular attraction for this small town. It’s a bit pricey unless you plan on spending the whole day.

It was very relaxing. We'll organized too. I enjoyed it. It would be nice if there was a sauna and steamroom that all could use. There was a sauna, at extra cost, but you had to go naked. Not really very british 🤔

Really nice spa! I enjoyed the sauna area especially because there is a warm pool and clothing not required :)beautiful large thermal pool that connects to the outside with a whirlpool was also amazing! Highly reccomend for a day visit

The Cassiopeia Therme in Badenweiler is such a beautiful and relaxing place. We went in the evening, and it was truly magical once it got dark outside - the calm atmosphere, the warm lights, and the peaceful pools made it an unforgettable experience. Everything felt quiet, clean, and perfectly maintained. The combination of indoor and outdoor areas is great, and soaking in the warm water while it’s dark outside is incredibly soothing. A perfect spot to unwind and recharge - we’ll definitely come back next time we’re in Badenweiler!

Very nice place with good prices. The best pools are outdoor, with a beautiful view into old garden. Big choice. Located near romanian ruines, worth to go for a walk before or after the bath.

What a nice Therme/Spa destination, with excellent facilities. Indoor and outdoor pools are all comfortable and warm at around 26.5 degree or more depending on which bath you go. A wonderful Roman bath area, great sauna land with separate pool. Restaurant menu with many options to choose from. Good value. In case you have parked your car at the city carpark nearby you will get 2 hours for free.

Wow... I love here. Very relaxing! One of a good thermalbad I ever been...

WELL PRESERVED ROMAN RUIN. Entry fee 3€ (2023) which is more than acceptable. You can visit the roman baths through a overlooking bridge covered with a glass roof, which is the best way to experience such a old place without contaminating it.

Very well preserved remains of ancient romain bathhouse. Well organized exhibition with art statues built in the historical ruins. Interesting Film about the bathing traditions in Roman time. Nice park around- especially in spring.

Well preserved and presented Roman baths. Once you've read all the explications in German, there are plenty of nearby terraces to cool down from that effort.

Well presented and preserved. There’s a movie in several languages that is informative. Roman ruins in Germany! How cool is that… Ideally, so we could understand better, they would make a functioning Roman baths replica à la Westworld…

Very nice preserved Roman bath house under a huge glass roof in a beautiful park, where we saw a very rarely seen red squirrel,

Excellently preserved roman bath ruins. Cost of entry was €2,50 per person with Gästekarte, which I think is very reasonable. Good information (all in German though).

The only downside logistically was looking for parking. The ruins themselves were cool and nicely maintained, though more signage/labels would have been nice

This restaurant is ideal for business lunches and romantic dinners, offering great service, delicious food, and friendly staff. However, the menu does not provide sufficient details and is only available in German, making it challenging for international guests to understand and make informed choices.

Michelin level award winning food that's surprisingly good value for money especially for Switzerland. Don't get me wrong it's not cheap, bit the ambience, service and venue was excellent. Not too stuffy either, a place where you can relax. Food was outstanding, everything. Highly recommended if your not on too tight a budget.

Beautiful inside and out. Delicious food paired with exceptional service. Salad is fresh and crisp with shaved carrots and beets. The Wienerschnitzel with fries is my favorite. The restaurant has a nice bar and lounge as well.

DO NOT GO! Completely rigged card machines for dealing at the tables. W e were there for 1 hour and we all only won 2 hands.

There were 5 of us in the group. We all wanted to drink cocktails or some other drink. A lady who worked there, welcomed us very arrogantly ( without smile) and said that we cannot drink on that terrace, we can only eat. And she said that we can have a drink on the other terrace. That second terrace is about 100 m away, in the middle of the park, and is not part of the Baden Casino terrace. The lady was very unprofessional. She behaved the same way with the guests in front of us, who also wanted to drink. Since when do you discriminate guests who want to have just a drink? That doesn't exist anywhere, not even in more expensive and luxurious restaurants! Shame, never again in the Casino Baden restaurant.

Best dining experience within Baden. The staff were friendly and quite helpful.

It was okay, I liked the Zurich ine better as well those around Europe.

Fantastic toboggan run and an amazing experience! At the top of the mountain, you can take a short walk through the forest and enjoy a kiosk with a breathtaking view. The only downside is the long wait in line for a ride that feels over too quickly. Still, it’s absolutely worth it!

Amazing ride!! 14.50euros for ski lift up and toboggan down. We had backpacks and could put them in the front when you go up the ski lift. Then otw down you could strap it into the toboggan. Ski lift was about 12 mins up. And toboggan down was about 6 mins. SO FUN.

Me and my partner visited here and it was amazing! Unfortunately we arrived in the rain but even in the rain this place was amazing! The views from the top were still beautiful, and thanks to the weather, we had the track almost completely to ourselves. The ride was super fun (a bit more thrilling in the wet) and felt totally safe. Honestly, a great experience— rain or shine. I’d highly recommend to anyone in the area! It’s €7 for the ride down or €14 if you wish to be lazy (like us) and ride their ski lift up to the very top instead of hiking up! There is also a FREE car park only a short walk away!

A great alpine coaster in Todtnau, Germany (Black forest). Not the cheapest but certainly one of the better coasters. You need to take an open cable car to the mountain top before you start. It’s a pretty long ride and can get really fast, if you wish. There’s a parking lot at the bottom of the mountain. We had a great time!

Longest Alpine Coaster in Germany, great laterals and the operators give you plenty space with the cart in front of you so there is no slow down so you can go at high speed! Lift is included on the ticket

The coaster decent was fun but not very thrilling (as compared to Alpine coaster). The employees were sending coasters back to back which caused traffic at end of the line and we were not able to enjoy full ride. But can't blame them as it was very very crowded (1 hour queue). View from top is beautiful. You can see the Hanging bridge and Feldberg.

Fantastic alpine coaster, even longer than I imagined. We'll worth the 1hr drive to get too and at €14.50 for the lift hill and coaster ride I think its great value. Free parking a 2 minute walk away too

The hike is super short but definitely worth it. It costs 2.5€ for the waterfall and 12€ bridge+ waterfall. If you decide to do the waterfall and change your mind to do the bridge as well later you will end up paying twice. The ticket includes passing through the bridge once on each side of it and a bathroom stop at the bridge entrance. Earlier in the morning its quite empty. The hike back and forth is 90 min super nice. Super easy to go by public transportation the bus stops literally at the bridges gate.

Entry Ticket for One adult- 12 euros The bridge swings in the air and you need to hold to railing. The view is thrilling yet very safe. There are some benches on other end of bridge where you can rest and calm your nerves down if you feel overwhelmed.

Absolutely stunning! The Todtnau Waterfalls are a true natural wonder – powerful, beautiful, and surrounded by incredible scenery. The hike up the mountain is well worth it, leading you to a spectacular suspension bridge with breathtaking views all around. This place offers a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and relaxation. A unique and memorable experience for the whole family, and one I highly recommend to anyone visiting the Black Forest. Truly unforgettable!

Visited this beautiful bridge and waterfall with my family. While buying tickets, the kind lady advised the bridge might not be suitable for my one-year-old German Shepherd and even offered to look after him during our visit. Such kindness is rare — we need more people like her everywhere.

Really loved the place... the bridge looks nice and easy walking through but it is really not... it moves a bit and makes me dizzy (on the good side). My kids really liked it and the view is stunning... it is really great on the way attraction. (1 hour)

It was a beautiful experience for my kids because the last time they visited was 3 years ago with their cousins from Bielefeld and they love it. The nature, the water and the views. I recommend this place for family.

Great scenic view. A combination with the Forestline (rope bridge) makes the experience more vivid.
