This destination will dazzle you between its lakes, mountains and flower farms (where several local specialities are produced). In the historic centre of Bern, you will be soothed by the tranquillity, sweetness and medieval atmosphere of this place. The alleys reveal its characteristic history with its sandstone facades and incredible architecture, including the four towers, the clock and the eleven allegorical fountains. The Zytglogge and its chime is an unmissable place because it offers a unique show when it rings every hour. For a bit of history, you'll have to head to Albert Einstein's former apartment, which has now become a museum. Then, the Paul Klee Art Center will offer you an extraordinary moment with the four thousand paintings and drawings exhibited there. The collegiate church of Bern will also not go unnoticed, as well as the many masterpieces (sculptures, stained glass windows, frescoes, bell collection, etc.) that it houses. In winter, the Bernese Oberland resorts will allow you to entertain yourself with winter sports such as skiing in the Adelboden-Lenk, Gstaad, Grindelwald, Mürren and Hasliberg areas. The rest of the year, you can go hiking on the Gürbe Valley high-altitude path, the Schilthorn Flower Trail, the Lauenen Lake Path, the Gantrisch Scenic Path or the Monts Trail, where you will be amazed by Bern's thriving nature and breathtaking landscapes. You can also snorkel in the crystal clear waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Then, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, you will enjoy the Bernese market on Bundesplatz, Bärenplatz, Waisenhausplatz, and in Gurtengasse Schauplatzgasse and Münstergasse streets to do some shopping and taste some specialities of the region.
In summer (August), you can attend the Buskers festival, which showcases the creativity and poetry of nearly 150 artists and performers from all over the world in the streets of Bern. Finally, you will see the city from another angle at night with its multiple clubs, casinos, bars and bowling alleys in the Bern district. ◄
