On the northeastern side of Lake Thun, you can find the Beatus Cave. Getting its name from an Irish monk from the 6th century, the legend has it that Beatus fought against a dragon, expelled it and took control of the caves.

When you are here, take a visit to the Cave Museum which has the full documentation of the history, wildlife and geology associated with these caves.

Go crazy in the main street, where you can find Swiss chocolates and Swiss souvenirs like Army Knives and showpieces. Once you are done here, check out the line of streets that will take you to the river. From cosy traditional buildings decorated in colourful patterns to turquoise-coloured glacier waters by the sides, a visit to Town Centre is one of the top things to do in Interlaken.
