Bern
About
See beyond the monuments and discover how this country really works.
This isn’t a dry history walk. It’s a journey through Bern’s Old Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where medieval streets, legends, local stories, politics and real Swiss life come together.
But this tour is more than sightseeing. It helps you understand Switzerland — its mentality, neutrality, direct democracy, money culture and everyday life.
You’ll hear stories about Napoleon, the Swiss army, Einstein, local legends and Bern’s famous bear.
We’ll explore Bern’s highlights, including Zytglogge, the Federal Palace, Bern Cathedral, the Matte Quarter and views along the Aare River.
You’ll also get practical local tips,...
