Frischproduktemarkt

Surrounded by historically significant buildings, the Frischproduktemarkt Thun (“Fresh Products Market”) takes place every Saturday morning from 8 am to 12 pm on the Rathausplatz. On this market, freshness is guaranteed as the healthy products come directly from local farms. Vegetables, fruits, baked goods, meat, fish, flowers, dairy products, syrups, preserves, eggs, and antipasti – this small but wonderful market allows you to do all your weekly shopping outdoors.

In these surroundings, shopping is fun.

The region of Thun has great products to offer.

Chillounge

The Mühleplatz is one of Thun’s hotspots and is always bustling with life, no matter the time of day. The “Chillounge” on the Oberen Hauptgasse 38, which combines café, bistro, bar, and restaurant, is no exception. It is one of Thun’s most exciting meeting points. With special events and a variety of culinary delights, guests are surprised time and again. Make sure not to miss out on the Thuner Gin, which is also available for purchase by the bottle.

Metzgerei Muster

As soon as the temperatures rise again, we are drawn outside for barbecuing. The Metzgerei Muster in Bälliz 4 carries all the meat products needed for a successful barbecue party. Whether it’s juicy steaks or flavorful sausages – the diverse selection at the counter is sure to satisfy any meat lover. And the best part: the in-house production facility only processes animals from local farms. The team knows all of their producers personally, ensuring proper animal welfare and short transportation routes.

With such a wide selection, the choice is difficult.

There is nothing standing in the way of a barbecue party.

Woods Optik

One accessory is indispensable in summer: an elegant pair of sunglasses. Woods Optik in Bälliz 1 focuses on style with an all-round view. They have made it their mission to not only find glasses that meet the customers’ requirements but also match their lifestyle. During the consultation, questions about personal preferences, lifestyle, favorite colors, and clothing style are taken into account to find the perfect product together. In addition, Woods Optik is known for eye kinetics, its unique measurement method.

Vera Calma

Not far from the Mühleplatz, “vera calma” on the Hofstettenstrasse 2 invites you to savor and enjoy in a South American-inspired atmosphere. The name says it all: “vera calma” means “calm shore” – guests are encouraged to leave the stress of everyday life behind and enjoy the incredible mountain panorama along with the diverse culinary offerings. Their specialty is homemade empanadas, and no one has to stay thirsty either: fairly produced coffee specialties, a wide range of teas, authentic Thun beer, and various refreshing cocktails round off the selection.

The Bed and Breakfast Chez Muna & Lucien on the Oberen Hauptgasse 21 offers rooms with beautiful views or a cozy private terrace. For those who are still keen on culinary experiments after enjoying Thun’s rich offerings, a guest kitchen is available.
