How to Spend a Perfect Day in Interlaken with Itinerary Map

Interlaken

Check Point

・Two lakes visible from the top of the mountain

・Streetscapes and roads as a base for mountain climbing

【City description】

Interlaken is a city located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, as its name suggests, meaning “between the lakes.” Rather than being a tourist city, it serves more as a base for heading to the Alps mountains such as the Eiger and Jungfrau. You can take a cable car from the city to the top of the mountain, and if the weather is good, you can see the two lakes.
