Switzerland playlist Interlaken makes a perfect home base for exploring the beautiful mountains all around the central region of Switzerland, offering many hotels, restaurants and shops, and wonderful train and bus connections to get up to the mountain sites. Tourists have been coming to Interlaken and the area since about 1800 when it was first popularized by some romantic painters and then tourism really increased in the 1890s and early 1900s with the opening of railway service.
Some of the world's most spectacular mountain scenery is waiting for you just outside of Interlaken in the heart of the Swiss Alps. In this movie we’re focusing on how to get the most out of your visit to the town. For the more adventurous you can go paragliding. Or for something less adventurous you can just rent a bicycle and go peddle around. There's a lot to see in the Interlaken area. The town itself is relatively flat and you can peddle through the shopping areas and up into the residential zones.
A main activity in town is shopping – all sorts of souvenirs for sale, clothing, you can buy some hiking gear. It's a great place for backpacks, for boots, hats, clothing of all kinds, walking sticks and a T-shirt that says Interlaken.
There's not much of a pedestrian zone that's free of automobiles here but they do have one little lane that's for pedestrians. But the rest of town is very friendly for walking around, the sidewalks are wide and there's always things to look at and things to do.
The great meadow forms a major park, beautifully landscaped and kept in a semi-natural state with flowers and trees and the meadow along one side and grand hotels on the other.
If you’re a gambler there is a casino like there is in most Swiss towns and it's an elegant place. It’s part of the Kursal complex which for 100 years has been a cultural center of the city, set in a beautiful park with fountains and flowers.
Another major attraction worth seeing near Interlaken is the city of Bern the political capital of Switzerland and it's just one hour away by train.
The Bern train station is right next to the old town so your walk through the historic zone begins the moment you arrive. The main street proceeds directly from the front of the train station right through the historic center. It's one street about ten blocks long, but it changes name several times. By the station and it's the Spitalgasse, then it becomes the Marktgasse, then the Kramgasse, then the Gerechtigkeitsgasse. Today, it's the main street of Bern, as it has been for centuries. This road is remarkable, not only for the ancient buildings and arcades that cover both sides, but for the spectacular Renaissance fountains down the middle. Today it's a popular shopping street with surprisingly modern shop interiors, and there's a slight curve with a long line of Baroque façades that combine to produce one of Bern's most impressive streetscapes. This Kramgasse and its buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that encompasses the entire old city of Bern – a very impressive honor that UNESCO has designated all of the historic area as a World Heritage Site.
At the end of town across the river they have their famous bear pits. In recent years the government has greatly expanded this bear habitat to make it really a pleasant place for the bears to live.
Another important building is the Gothic cathedral with the nation's highest church tower at 328 feet, which you may climb for a bird’s eye view of the historic center. Construction of the cathedral began in 1421 in the Gothic style. It is a three-nave basilica without a transept or aisles, 85 m long and 34 m wide – it is quite huge. The walls outside are supported by flying buttresses and the majority of the building is constructed with local sandstone, and bricks were used for the ceiling for the vaults.
On the train ride back to Interlaken it is easy to get off at the picturesque city of Thun and spend a few hours walking around, enjoying the special ambience of this place, with a river running through the middle of the Old Town and a unique two-level sidewalk on the main pedestrian street. Then return to Interlaken and continue our exploration of this great city.
This video is part of a longer series that we're presenting all about Switzerland, including Lucerne, Zürich, Zermatt, Lugano, Locarno, and a lot of beautiful mountaintops scenery to share with you.

18 Secrets & Best Places in Bern, Switzerland
These are my 18 hidden secrets, things to do & best places to visit for Bern, the capital of Switzerland. Bern is not the first place you think of when planning a trip to Europe but let me tell you, Bern is one of the most beautiful places I've been to.
My Bern Travel guide with tips, secrets, maps, addresses and photos:
Kick off Bern with a refreshing jump in the Aare river which flows at speeds up to 13 km per hour while you hold onto your airbag containing your clothes.
For lunch I recommend grabbing a bite at a patio on the Barenplatz downtown Bern loaded with adorable little restaurants and bars.
Kramgasse is the main shopping street with a gorgeous view on the Zytglogge clocktower, the photos simply don't do this place justice.
Bern is well known for being the residence of Professor Einstein, you can visit his original apartment on the Kramgasse. This is also the same place where Einstein came up with the formula E=MC2.
For a fun evening grab a couple of beers at Antonio's Bar & Cafe next to the Zytglogge. I ended up playing a fun game called Corridor with some of the locals and met a couple of friendly girls from Zurich.
In conclusion, Bern is a great summer destination for a pit-stop during a road trip through the Swiss Alps. Due to its small size, 2 days is sufficient to see the entire city. Happy travels!
Have a safe journey!

Beautiful Thun, Switzerland in 4K
Flying over the city and around some totally amazing sites with my DJI Mavic Pro drone. I was on small windy road on a hill surrounded by trees but the drone had an amazing vantage point and has awesome range.
Thun Switzerland - Discover The Hidden Secrets of This Beautiful City | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Thun is an excellent destination to travel to if you want to admire the beauty of nature in Switzerland. It is conveniently located in the centre of the Bernese Oberland region and it is a perfect mix of lake and mountain amidst mild weather that lasts well into autumn.
Thun’s most recognizable landmark is the Thun Castle, also known as “Schloss Thun”. With history going back all the way to when the first settlers arrived in the city in 2,500 B.C, this building has a lot of stories to tell. The castle’s fortification tower was built in 1180 and since then it has been converted into a museum with over five floors of cultural development. It houses historic artifacts from around 4,000 years, as well as medieval objects, weapons and uniforms from the 18th and 19th century. There is also the magnificent Knight’s Hall, restored in modern times but dating back to the 12th century.
The Old Town in Thun perfectly compliments the castle. With its raised pavements and museums you’ll feel like you have stepped back in time. In a way, the Old Town is highly traditional with the town church dating back to 1330, and the town hall erected in the 16th century. However, Thun has also caught up with modern times, as there are a few brand new cinemas in the town and many restaurants offering local and international cuisine. The top activity here, though, is shopping – with almost 1,000 shops offering anywhere from watches, sports equipment, and clothes to souvenirs, handicrafts, and art objects.

The 10 most beautiful places to visit in Switzerland.
A fusion of Italian, French and German cultures but still with a strong identity of its own, Switzerland makes an alluring travel destination. The landlocked European country is known for its attractive cities, its apre-ski chic and famously idyllic mountain scenery complete with cuckoo-clock houses and bell wearing cows – Switzerland is still a place where you can imagine Heidi skipping through the Alpine meadows.

So come and join me as we are going to explore the amazing city.
This is Aldrin Travels, and welcome to Bern, Switzerland. In this video, i am going to show my top 10 things to do and see in the Swiss Capital.
From its historical sites and untouched buildings down to its amazingl town river.
Lets start with the city’s largest reform cathedral, Bern Minster. or in German, Münster which means, BIG Church. This huge building was constructed in 1421 in an amazing Gothic Style. Now ill take you to the east side of the building, where you can relax, play with your kids, and take some selfie with a view of the Kirchenfeld Bridge. One of the best way to see the entire city is to visit the Cathedral’s Tower. It takes 344 steps to go up, sounds a bit tiring, but its all worth it , the view is just absolutely breathtaking. The vantage point of the tower allows you to enjoy the amazing panorama of the Bernese Landscapes
On your way down, don’t forget to visit the Bell Chamber where you can see four of the seven Bells of the Cathedral. Did you know that Albert Einsteiin rented this place for 2 productive years? From 1903 to 1905, in the street of Kramgasse 49, Einstein and his wife Meliva have lived here together with their son Hans Albert.
You get to see the living space of the family, the old furnitures, pictures hanging on the wall, and even their son’s old cradle.You might be surprise, but Bern has over 100 fountains, and eleven of which are still active.
The fountains that has been part of Bern’s water supply, used to be a meeting places where people gossiped, washed, and fetched clean drinking water.Now, lets escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and lets take a walk towards the town river side. , The llong stretch path of Schwellenmätteli is a perfect place for joggers, walk with your dogs, and might as well, picnic.
A visit to the Bearpark would be a great experience for the entire family. This place has a great significance in the city. Another way to relax is to visit Bern's Rosegarden. This is perfect place for an entire family. The view of the entire city is purely spectacular. There are playgrounds, restaurant, and even a mini library.
Families and friends can both enjoy the view of the river as well the bears playing around and taking their bath.The clock tower or better known as Zeitglockturm is one of Bern’s most remarkable site. Back in the 13th century this tower served as guard tower and prison.
This major tourist attraction is one of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. And finally, the CITY of Bern itself as part of UNESCO World of Heritage sites.
The Swiss Capital has so many alluring characteristics. Its history and antiquity that captivates millions of tourist across the globe, and its beautiful and amazing atmosphere that keeps me coming back.
