Thun
A walkable Swiss town where the Aare flows out of Lake Thun, with a food-and-drink scene packed into the centre, historic churches, and scenic viewpoints over the surrounding Bernese Highlands. The wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the town sits at the edge of the Alps, making it a practical base for mountain access. Thun is also Switzerland's largest garrison town, giving it an economic character beyond tourism.
