Nothing better than Beating legs in this picturesque town and grandiose! leaving the train station and walk a little you get home from Einstein, what caught my attention and that the Swiss don't realize many advertisements, including just found his house because I looked up and I came across a picture of him at the window.

If you're a history fan and Einstein is one of your key curiosities then you'll enjoy this museum. It's a couple of floors in a home and it has some interesting artifacts and you get some insights into various personal elements of his life. We were there in winter so it wasn't too crowded and we were able to navigate fairly easily. There's a short film which is basically everything that you would have seen in the museum. Quick note: they do not accept credit card for payment, cash only.

Cute intereting, but way overpriced and they only except Swiss Francs cash, no cards at all

How someone marked this place as club? Well I did see someone taking photos all the time. It’s pretty cliche to stand in front of something famous.

Very cool to see a former residence turned museum. Not huge and not crowded. Just enough information to provide a stop on your daily travels. Lots of written records and details on the upper floor. Give it a look!

Reveals the ordinary side of one of the greatest minds of era, gives a sense of simplicity of an extraordinary man.
