Bring a compact tripod
Useful for low‑light shots under bridges and panoramic exposures from the castle; travel tripods pack small but stabilize long exposures.
Wear grippy footwear
Cobblestones and short stair sections demand stable shoes—avoid slick soles for safer framing near riverbanks.
Charge spare batteries
Cold or long shooting sessions drain batteries—carry a spare and a small power bank for phones.
Use public transport
The meeting point is across from Bahnhof Thun; arriving by train avoids parking delays and gives time to warm up with street scenes.
Mirrorless or DSLR camera
Offers control over exposure and focal length for varied city and low‑light scenes.
Compact travel tripod
Stabilizes long exposures by the river and for dusk panoramas.
Comfortable walking shoes
Provides traction on cobbles and stairs encountered on the route.
Weatherproof jacket
