    A scenic town, set between two picturesque lakes, awaits you on a holiday to Interlaken.

    Idyllic exploring

    A leisurely lakefront walk or cruise on Lake Brienz or Lake Thun is a great place to start exploring. Lake Brienz is known for its waterfalls, startling azure waters and the traditional woodcarving village of Brienz, and Lake Thun is dotted with fairy tale castles. Interlaken itself is alive with pavement cafés, shops and leafy riverside paths.

    Unbeatable transport

    The best way to see the area’s breathtaking scenery is via the cable cars and mountain railways, which link Interlaken to some of Europe’s most famous peaks – and to some beautiful walking paths. There are also lots of buses, trains, and ferries – and this is Switzerland, so they’re all perfectly clean and run like clockwork. The famous Jungfrau Railway starts at Interlaken and racks its way up to the UNESCO-protected Jungfraujoch, known as the Top of Europe.

    Good to know

    There won’t be a rep based in Switzerland, but if you’ve got any questions during your holiday, you can call our 24/7 TUI Service Centre at any time.

    Out and about

    Here are some ideas of things to do when staying in Interlaken:

    • Lakeside path
    • Lake bathing
    • Boat trips
    • Sailing
    • Mountain railway
    • Cycle routes
    • Indoor pool
    • Tennis courts
    • Caves

    • WALKING
    • Two lakes

      Gorgeously blue waters can be found both east and west of Interlaken, though Lake Brienz is most popular when it comes to lake bathing. The natural lidos around the perimeter invite you to immerse yourself in the invigorating waters and cool off from the summer sun. And unless there are signs telling you not to, you can swim anywhere you want in both Brienz and Thun.

    • Lidos of Lake Brienz

      There are quite a few man-made and natural lidos on Lake Brienz, including Bönigen Lido, which is kitted out with inflatable water trampolines and even a heated outdoor swimming pool - ideal if you're not too keen on the freshwater. Burgseeli Natural Lido is known for its sunbathing meadow, barbeque facilities and unusually warm waters, which can reach up to 26ºC

    • Lake Thun Beaches

      Similar to Lake Brienz, Lake Thun has numerous bathing areas around its edges that are very popular in summer. The easiest one to get to is at Neuhaus, which is about an hour's walk away – or you can catch the bus there instead.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      Shopping in Interlaken is diverse, but for high-street buys, the Oberland Shopping Centre will be your best bet. The Höheweg is also home to a range of middle-of-the-road shops, selling a variety of typically Swiss goods, including wood-carved children's toys, Swiss army knives and the most important product of all - chocolate.

    • Designer Buys

      It wouldn't be Switzerland without watches. The Höheweg, the main shopping street in town, is the location for all the prestigious jewellers and watch merchants, from Rolex and Tissot to Omega and Swarovski.

    • Laid-back evenings

      Hone your skills with a game of billiards or opt for a stroll around the town, before having a drink at your hotel's bar.

    • Lively evenings

      Partygoers will find a selection of lively bars and clubs either down south on the Hauptstrasse, or to the west of Interlaken on the Rosenstrasse. The locals, though, usually head over to Matten. For a more cultural atmosphere, make sure you're around for one of the various music, art and theatre festivals that take place throughout the summer, or tag along to a gig at one of the local venues.

    • Eating out

      Interlaken is said to have the widest selection of traditional and regional cuisines in the whole of Switzerland, lots of them on the Marktgasse and the streets that surround the central roundabout. The promenade at Lake Brienz has a small choice of restaurants if you want some stunning lake views, though you may prefer to get a bus up there as it's quite a walk from the centre of town.

    • French favourites at Café de Paris

      In a beautiful building on the Marktgasse is the Café de Paris, offering traditional French cuisine with a few local twists. You can enjoy dinner outside under the canopy, or inside for a more intimate experience. Tartare de boeuf is a speciality dish here, among other brasserie-style options.

    • Swiss cheese at Brasserie St George

      Part of the Hotel Royal St Georges, Brasserie St Georges is an elegant and spacious restaurant serving up a wide range of dishes. The Swiss Signature menu is a popular choice.

    • Pad Thai at Little Thai

      Just outside of town is Little Thai, a small and simple Thai restaurant with a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. The food is truly authentic and their portions are generous.

    • On foot

      Take a relaxed walk on the waterfront of Lake Thun or Lake Brienz, or stroll up the Höheweg, which links the urban Interlaken West with the quieter Interlaken East.

    • Ferries

      Ferries are available on both Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. They depart around once an hour and travel to towns like Iseltwald and Oberhofen. It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach the far side of Lake Brienz, so on the way you’ll be able to take in the beautiful scenery and waterfalls. Ferries on Lake Thun do not start until 11.10am.

    • Trains

      Interlaken has two railway stations - East and West. From these stations you can access mountains and major cities and towns. Trains that run up to the Jungfrau region depart every 30 minutes from Interlaken East, and intercity and regional trains run between 6am and 1am. There’s also a tourist train that operates around Interlaken, departing every 30 minutes from outside the Victoria-Jungfrau Hotel, opposite the casino entrance. And take advantage of your Swiss Half Fare Card that you get as part of your holiday for up to 50% off Swiss train journeys during your stay.

    • Buses

      Both Interlaken East and West have bus stations. Buses run every 30 minutes between 8am and 8pm and can take you around the town to the Höheweg, to both lakes and to Unterseen and Matten. And your Swiss Half Fare Card that you get as part of your holiday gives you up to 50% off the buses too.

    • Summer lifts

      You can catch the Niederhornbahn from Beatenberg, which takes under 20 minutes to reach the top of the Niederhorn Mountain.

    • Walking

      Nestled in the Jungfrau region, Interlaken is flat and easy to walk around. Strollers will love the gentle paths to Lake Brienz and Lake Thun, both of which offer stunning scenery. There are also specialised guided walks, such as the Story of Switzerland and the Food and Culture tours. Those with a head for heights should take the funicular to Harder Kulm, Interlaken’s highest peak, for breathtaking views and access to a handful of marked trails. Really keen walkers might prefer to head to Grindelwald or Wengen and use the gondolas to reach a wider range of trails – such as those to Lake Bachalpsee and the Panorama Trail.

    • Interlaken to Lake Brienz

      Get to know the town and its surroundings with this easy route. From Interlaken Ost boat station, wander past the dock and follow the path along the river. It usually takes around 45 minutes to reach Bönigen and the shores of Lake Brienz. After spending some time enjoying the scenery, it’s up to you whether you walk back or catch the bus.

    • To Neuhaus and Lombach

      A longer route to really stretch your legs, this one is just as gentle. From the boat station at Interlaken West, head along the Kanalpromenade – a really scenic path that will take you past the Weissenau ruins, a former moated castle, and through the Weissenau nature reserve. When you reach Neuhaus you can stop for lunch or even go for a swim or paddle to cool down. Then walk back to Interlaken along the Lombach river, or catch the bus instead.
