Introducing Bern

Tucked into a loop of the river Aare in central Switzerland, the laid-back city of Bern doesn’t feel like a capital city. But what it lacks in frenetic urban bustle and traffic it makes up for with crooked streets that ooze history, and plenty of cultural diversions. The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a highlight with its handsome streets, fountains, and medieval architecture. The Federal Palace, seat of the Swiss government, serves up great views of the city and the distant Alps from its terrace. Visitors can explore the Einstein Museum, head uphill on the Gurtenbahn funicular for a birds-eye view of the city, or check out the Bear Park, where the city’s mascots – a pair of brown bears - live in a spacious enclosure. For foodies, sampling Swiss specialities like cheese fondue, rosti, and chocolate is a must. Bern also offers great shopping, especially for Swiss watches and crafts.

Top six things to do in Bern

1. Wander around the UNESCO Old Town

Bern’s medieval old town is like something out of a film. Medieval buildings, flags, and cobbled streets take visitors back in time. Look out for the colourful public water fountains scattered about. With over 100, they’re a major part of the city. Take a trip up Switzerland’s tallest cathedral – Bern Minster – for views of the river, red-tiled roofs and pretty bridges.

2. Get a glimpse of the Zytglogge Clock Tower in action

Dancing bears, cheeky fool and rooster come out every hour at Bern’s charming clock tower located in the old town. It’s a fascinating display and a beloved monument of the old town. You can go inside to see behind-the-scene mechanisms and learn about what the figures represent. There’s an astrological clock and viewing platform to enjoy inside too.

3. Take a stroll in the Rosengarten

Located at the top of a hill, this peaceful spot is the perfect place for a picnic, panoramic views and your daily dose of nature. Relax among the sweet scents of over 200 varieties, along with other flowers too. There’s a tranquil pond, pavilion and restaurant too. Make sure to get a picture on the Einstein bench with the backdrop of Bern and the surrounding area.

4. Step inside the Federal Palace of Switzerland

Home to the national parliament and a green dome that you won’t be able to miss – this is one of Bern’s most important buildings. Inside, you’ll get to see mesmerising stained glass windows, statues and chambers. Outside in Parliament Square, admire more Renaissance-style buildings and the impressive statue with 26 jets symbolising the cantons of Switzerland.

5. Experience culture, art and history in Bern

Head to Bern’s History Museum for a blast of the past and discover a fascinating collection of over 200 dioramas. Discover Albert Einstein's memorabilia at the museum, including his 1921 Nobel Prize certificate and see where the famed scientist lived in the city centre. If art’s your thing, head to the Kunstmuseum for world-class art, or the Paul Klee Center for modern works and wavy architecture.

6. Walk along the Aare River

The dazzling turquoise waters are what make Bern’s panoramas pop – magically formed by tiny melting glacier particles in the riverbed. Stroll along the riverside, stop at a cute restaurant or hire canoes. A cruise or boat tour is a great way to admire the views, or you can head to Bern’s famous Nydeggbrücke bridge. In summer, immerse yourselves like the locals and go for a dip.
