Despre activitate

Your expert local guide (former diplomat and development expert) will show you selected parts of the capital city and put emphasis on unique features of the Swiss political system, explain why it is working and compare it to other systems. While walking through the city you will be able to see most of the main attractions but on top you will get a unique insight into the way Switzerland works.

Itinerar

  1. Old City

    45 min

    Bern’s Old City has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983, wowing visitors with its impressive sandstone buildings and incomparable charm. Also typical for the city are its quaint alleys and the six kilometres of arcades.

  2. Parliament Building

    10 min

    The Parliament Building in Bern is the heart of Switzerland’s democracy: the parliament holds its meetings under the grand dome, the west and east wings house parts of the federal government and administration.

  3. Clock Tower - Zytglogge

    5 min

    Bern’s typical streets, lanes and buildings have exciting stories to tell, and in the midst of them all in the Old Town one of the city’s best-known landmarks stands high above the rest: the Zytglogge (Clock Tower). Once a city gate, the Clock Tower now attracts spectators from all over the world.

  4. Kafigturm (Prison Tower)

    5 min

    In the past, Käfigturm was where criminals were interrogated and locked up, today it is a space for political discussions. The former city gate at the upper end of Marktgasse is an important landmark of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bern and home of the Polit-Forum Bern (Political Forum Bern).

  5. Oprirea 5

    5 min

    The Von Wattewyl House is considered by some to be perhaps the most important place for Swiss policy-making, representing a significant historic patrician house connected to Bern's political past and influential families. (Note: Primarily an administrative building, interior access typically not public).

  6. Berner Munster

    15 min

    The Bernese Minster has the highest church spire in all of Switzerland and is one of the most important landmarks of the capital. There are 344 steps to reach the viewing deck – but the wonderful panorama from the Old City to the peaks of the Bernese Oberland is absolutely worth it.

  7. Zahringerbrunnen

    5 min

    The Fountains of Bern are distinctive landmarks scattered throughout the Old City. Characterized by colourful figures, skillfully crafted pillars, and detailed decorations, these Renaissance fountains serve as both historical art pieces and practical water sources. (e.g., Zähringerbrunnen, Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen).

  8. Weltpostdenkmal

    10 min

    The Weltpostdenkmal (Universal Post Monument) is a symbolic monument commemorating the founding of the Universal Postal Union in Bern. It features allegorical figures representing the global communication and collaboration facilitated by postal services.

  9. Landtetor Bern

    10 min

    Ländtetor is a minuscule historical site, often unknown by most tourists, representing the location of Bern's ancient river port. This site, restored with federal and local resources, offers a glimpse into Bern's past as a trade hub along the Aare River.

  10. Oprirea 10

    10 min

    The Bern bear pit is an attraction that is known far beyond the borders of Switzerland. Since 2009, the Bern bears have primarily had a modern, 6,000 square meter park at their disposal, which they reach through a tunnel – the BärenPark.

  11. Rosengarten

    20 min

    The magic of cherry blossom in spring, around 250 varieties of roses in bloom in summer, a blaze of colour in the autumn months and the cosy fondue veranda of the Rosengarten restaurant in the winter season make a visit to the rose garden something special at any time of year.

  12. Freibad Marzili

    15 min

    It seems that “all” of Bern meets up at the Marzili. On peak days, over 10,000 visitors descend upon what is considered to be the most beautiful riverside pool in Switzerland, right below the Parliament Building.
