Bern

The city boasts a medieval atmosphere with fountains, sandstone facades, narrow streets, and historic towers, making it truly unique.

For the best views of the old town, visit the elevated Rose Garden above Bear Park or climb up the 101-meter-high cathedral tower. The River Aare flows around the old town, and the former entrenchments and bastions drop down the river. The old town is home to boutiques, bars, and cabaret stages, some of which are located in vaulted cellars and small street cafes that are popular among locals and tourists alike. While Bern has an excellent public transport network, exploring the city centre on foot is highly recommended.
