What the map tells us about thrifting in Interlaken
21 of the 29 shops list their opening hours, which is unusually helpful for Interlaken — thrift stores are notorious for surprise closures. Still, call ahead if you're making a special trip to Interlaken; volunteer-run shops sometimes close early on quiet days.
15 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.
Thrift shops cluster a little: 2 of them sit on 14 Bernstrasse, so you can string those into one walk and hit the rest by car.
The Interlaken thrift circuit
Making a day of it in Interlaken? Work this order: Hiob on 13 Falkenstrasse, Flexi-Basar on 1 Kupfergasse, Brocki on 2 Vordere Gasse, Trendbörse, Brockenstube Brienz, Broki, Brockenstube, and HIOB on 2 Grabenstrasse. That's 29 stops, and if you hit them in sequence you won't backtrack. 21 more are listed below.
Thrifting tips for Interlaken
Regulars learn these fast; visitors to Interlaken can skip the learning curve:
- Try everything on at Hiob. Sizing across decades is chaos. The fitting room — or a brave moment by the mirror — saves you from the almost-right jacket.
- Ask about hold policies at Flexi-Basar. Eyeing furniture you can't take today? Many shops will hold an item for 24 hours. Ask before someone else buys it.
- Learn the colour-tag system. Many charity shops discount by tag colour on rotation. Ask which colour is half price this week — it changes regularly.
- Check zippers, buttons and seams. Thirty seconds of inspection at the rack beats discovering the broken zipper at home. Thrift stores don't do returns.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Interlaken — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in Interlaken can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 29 that's closed, or a great shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.
Prices at Interlaken's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — Interlaken included.
