[2025 Berne Attraction] Travel Guide for BearPark (Updated Jun)

Bern, or Berne, boasts numerous fountains, sandstone facades, narrow streets, and historic towers. The medieval ambiance is truly unique. Above the Bear Park, the Rose Garden offers a view from its 101-meter-high cathedral bell tower and terrace, overlooking the old town and the River Aare. Past fortifications and bastions are located on the steep slopes beside the river. The old town has many fashion boutiques, bars, and taverns, some of which are established in ancient vaulted cellars. The numerous cafes within the small streets attract both locals and tourists alike. Although Bern has a very developed public transportation network, it is still best to explore the beauty of this city on foot.

🇨🇭Bern is the capital of Switzerland. Although it is not as famous as the largest city, Zurich, this city with mountains and waters is full of clock towers, fountains⛲️ and decorative arts. Because it has preserved a large number of medieval🏰 landscapes, the ancient city of Bern was listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage in 1983. After visiting it, you will fall in love with its unique medieval atmosphere. 🇨🇭Bern was first named after the bears🐻. As a relay station connecting Zermatt and Jungfrau, most tourists only stay in Bern for one day, but it is enough to visit the entire ancient city, rose garden, Einstein's former residence, and then climb the Bear Park and overlook the beautiful scenery of the Aare River🇨🇭The Swiss know how to enjoy life. In the evening, you can see a large number of people gathering in the park, lying down for sunbathing, or having outdoor barbecues. They are completely different from the hard-working Asians. I envy them very much❤️ Bern is definitely a city worth visiting. It has a lazy atmosphere with mountains and water. Let's experience it too. #aareriverwalk #Bern Old Town #BernBearPark #RoseGarden #Einstein's House

As the capital of Switzerland, Bern has a lively yet deserted feeling. After we came out of the Bern train station, we found a bus to the B&B where we were staying. The B&B was actually not far from the city center, but there were fewer and fewer people there. The next day we set out for the city center and got off the bus when we saw a crowded place, but unexpectedly we had delicious pasta. After eating, we walked along the street. The first place we arrived was the Bear Park. Then we strolled around the central street. Finally, we watched the unique night view of Bern in the public square at night. #goout

#europetrip 📍Bern Bear Pit, Bern, Switzerland The city of Bern, also known as the city of bears and bears appeared on the flags, water fountains and buildings in Berne. Besides, there is also tours for bear spotting in the public bear park in Berne! It was winter during our visit and we did not get to spot any bears around the area back then. Barenpark (bear park) is pretty walkable from the old town across the bridge, and we were greeted by the stunning view of Bern city and the Aare River. The river was glistening and shimmering in emerald blue, the buildings, bridges and architectures were all beautiful and mesmerising. Worth a visit for every visitors visiting Berne!

This park is really beautiful and in a great location close to the old town and right on the river. The elevator gives you great views of the river baths from every direction, and if you’re lucky you might even spot bears in a huge, expansive enclosure. It really was a peaceful, natural setting (compared to a zoo) for this small group of three bears. They can climb mountains and rocks, they can eat berries... they even have a small lake so they can fish. NOTE: Elevators only operate until 5pm (Bear Park closes at 7pm) #2024TravelWish ~ Travel to Sicily, Italy

It takes about an hour to drive from Interlaken to the Swiss capital of Bern. The atmosphere is different from Zurich, Geneva, etc., and you can feel the strong ancient city style. A short walk along the Aare River will take you to the Bear Park. On the hilltops you can see brown bears walking freely, which is very cute. The park is free of charge and has an elevator to facilitate going up and down the mountain. I recommend you to visit the brown bears at the Bear Park if you have time~#berne

The bear is a symbol of the city, and Bern is a "bear" in German. At the beginning of the city, the ruler of the town, the Duke of Chalingen, decided to name the city with the first prey captured. Therefore, the bear established the symbol of Bernier. Xiongyuan is located on the side of the Nidige Bridge and passes through the bridge and begins to enter the old town of Bernier. The park is home to bears that symbolize Bern. In fact, Xiongyuan is not a zoo that is generally imagined. It is just a wall surrounded by several bears. The bears are free to move around. There is no entrance and no tickets. The cute bears, especially the bears, attract many tourists to stop. Visit. There are only a maximum of 5 bears to be accommodated here. Each bear receives about 4 kilograms of food per day, including food for tourists. Visitors can buy feed to feed these bears.
