Make the Most of Your Bern Stay

A medieval capital with modern sophistication

Bern operates as Switzerland's Federal City, a distinction reflecting its political importance without formal capital designation. The UNESCO-listed Old Town unfolds along a dramatic bend in the turquoise Aare River, where 6 kilometers of covered arcades shelter boutiques and cafes beneath 16th-century sandstone buildings. The Zytglogge's astronomical clock has marked hours since 1530, while the Bern Minster's tower offers sweeping views across red-tiled roofs toward the Bernese Alps.

Culinary excellence and river culture

The dining scene balances tradition with innovation, from Michelin-starred Wein & Sein to the vaulted Kornhauskeller. Summer transforms the Aare into the city's social center, where locals float downstream in the swift current. The Rosengarten provides elevated perspectives over the medieval core, while Renzo Piano's Zentrum Paul Klee houses the world's largest collection of the artist's work.

Strategic connections throughout Switzerland

Direct trains from Zurich Airport reach Bern in 75 minutes, while the efficient tram network makes the compact center easily navigable. Overnight guests receive complimentary public transport. Day trips to Interlaken, Gruyères, or Lucerne depart regularly from the central station.
