Bern tours

Things to do in Bern

Visiting Bern is like wandering through a dream. The impossibly beautiful old town lies tucked into a tight curve of the deep green Aare river, framed by forested hills. Spend time with a local guide and get under the skin of this Swiss city on a Bern private tour. Begin in the medieval old town. Follow your guide down narrow streets echoing with clanging trams to work up an appetite, then duck into a breakfast café and tuck into a heaping plate of Rosti, hashbrown potatoes. Sufficiently satiated, strike out for the Zytglogge, clock tower. Make sure to time your visit for the impressive puppet performance. Big spenders and window shoppers alike will fall in love with the graceful covered arcades. It may feel like a large city, but Bern offers nature lovers plenty of opportunity to get outside, so consult your guide for forest walks and quiet lakes within easy reach of the city. Don't forget to pick up those stereotypical Swiss souvenirs: chocolate, cheese, and folding knives.
