Aare River

Reviewed By 674pavelk - Redmond, United States

In august, we could see people swimming in it, and even standing on a high bridge, we could see through it to the very bottom of the river. It's greenish clear waters together with the scenery around it gives you this calm and peaceful feeling. Very relaxing.

Reviewed By yns_10 - Sydney, Australia

The charming Gothic Berner Münster is the country's tallest cathedral. After the plague came to Bern in 1526, many citizens converted to Reformation and by 1528 masses were stopped and icons cast out and the church became a reformation church.

Old City

Reviewed By hajshere - Mumbai, India

Bern is so underrated as a place to visit when it comes to Switzerland, even though it's the capital. I cannot comprehend why, maybe more people need to visit. You definitely need to visit Bern, it's a mesmerising mix of both old world drop dead gorgeous charm and the very well behaved new.The medieval architecture is preserved beautiful in the Altstadt (Old Town). I loved walking the cobblestone streets, learning how the old has been adopted to new eg: underground hideouts like basements of olden days are now boutiques and salons. The city, the houses around the beautiful River Aare make a breathtaking sight. The natural scene is beyond post card picture perfect. It's pure Magic. The Swiss are my kinda people and Bern has my heart, If I ever move somewhere this would be it.

Tierpark Dahlholzli

Reviewed By MissE166 - Oberaegeri, Switzerland

When visiting Bern, this tierpark should be on your list of things to see! A part of the Tierpark can even be visited without paying entrance. Goats, pigs, donkey, raccoons, flamingo,.... the park itself houses a wide variety of exotic animals like monkeys, birds, cats, bears,snakes,... in big, well maintained habitats. The park itself isn't that big, which makes it a perfect trip for children, big or small. There is a nice picnic and play area to take rest during your visit.
