Answer 7

Bern, Lucerne and Basel have nice old cities

Chillon is a great castle to visit, so are the 2 in Thun

spend some time in Thun where you're very close to the alps

I'd also suggest going to the JUngfraujoch. It's very expensive but worth every penny!! If it's foggy or rainy don't go thoogh, because the view is the most important part!
