Interlaken Shopping

The best souvenirs that you'll find in Switzerland are of the practical kind, such as watches, clocks, and Swiss Army knives. The watches and clocks are made mostly in the western French speaking part of Switzerland but really they can be found just about anywhere. Their prices are factory standardized, so the chance of getting a better deal else where is slim.

The Swiss Army knives are of high quality but the real deal, which is given to the Swiss soldiers, is grey without the corkscrew and scissors. Cuckoo clocks are associated with Switzerland, but are in fact of Bavarian origin. These too can be found all over Switzerland.

Interlaken Restaurants and Bars

Interlaken Restaurants

Schuh This sweet shop and café-restaurants serves everything from tea to hot meals, I recommend though that you save space for some showcase pastries which can be bought from the shop next door. It has a stunning shady terrace which, in summer, spills out into the Hohematte. (Hohneweg 56) (Tel: 036 -229441)

Stella For vegetarians try the hotel dining room, Stella. They have a huge variety of organically grown ingredients and their 'surprise' menu is five courses of unexpected delights served on mismatched china. (Waldeggstrasse 10) (Tel: 036-228871)

Krebs This family owned restaurants has been in Interlaken since 1875. You can enjoy upscale Swiss classics and homey daily plates in the glassed in dining room which opens up out to the main promenade. (Bahnhofstrasse 4) (Tel: 036-227161)

Laterne This local favorite is located east of the city center. Although a bit off the usual tourist track this restaurant is definitely worth finding as it offers great Swiss specialties such as Rosti, mixed salads, and fondue in a rustic, woody setting. (Obere Bonigstrasse 4) (Tel: 036-221141)

Interlaken Bars & Clubs

Bararella - Bararella is probably the most popular climb in all of Interlaken, it features some good live bands on certain evenings and is a really stunning spot for an evening out. Enjoy the music while enjoying their large range of drinks at decent prices. (Victoria-Jungfrau) (Tel: 036-212171)

Buddy's Pub Just like most of the other nightlife venues in Switzerland, Buddy's Pub is located in a hotel, namely the Hotel Splendid. The draw card here is that it's a popular conversation spot where the locals and tourists actually mingle. Therefore it's great place to go if you enjoy meeting new people. (Hotel Splendid) (Tel: 036-227612)

Interlaken Casino For those of you who enjoy gambling head over to the Interlaken Casino in the Kursaal. It now has 120 new slot machines among the other usual tables. The bets are limited by the federal government to 5 SF. (Tel 036-222521)
