Wonderful places to visit and dishes to taste around the Swiss capital
Bern is a beautiful Swiss city, built on a human scale. It is surrounded by a wonderful river, the Aare, with light blue waters that looks like something out of storybook pictures. The city center is easy to visit, strolling among medieval buildings, curious fountains and historic towers.
Not far from the Swiss capital is another quaint town: Thun. Its setting is the Bernese Alps and the lake. Above the hill rises the white castle and lower down the town is crossed by the Aare River. Nearby are the St. Beatus Caves, a cave system traversed by underground waterfalls.
