It’s one of the few things that is open in weekends, breathtaking exterior and amazing interior. Love how they merged the old building with the modern extension. You will enjoy walking around this beautiful place. You need at least 2 hours to walk around it and many visits if you like to see everything.

Completely amazing. We learned so much, and it never felt like a chore moving on to the next section like it can in some museums. I thought the armor and weapons displays in particular were great - lots of variety and background information. Lots about the more modern history of Switzerland too, which I didn't expect.
