Bern - a small city with rich history

#2023travelwish Visit the Old Town of Bern, which is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site - Explore the old city by foot is the best way to enjoy the city. Some free things to do - 1. The Zytglogge (Clock Tower) has one of the must-watch performances that strikes at four minutes before the hour. Be there slightly early if you want to get a good spot. 2. The old bear pit / new bear park is interesting as you can see the bears roaming around freely or taking a dip in the water. 3. The Cathedral of Bern is the tallest cathedral in Switzerland. Look out for some interesting details like the stained-glass windows, the invaluable set of bells, or the sandstone masterpiece that depicts the Last Judgement. In for a physical challenge? You can climb up to reach the viewing deck which given you the wonderful panorama from the Old City to the peaks of the Bernese Oberland (oh, you've got to pay for a ticket for this challenge) I wish to revisit Switzerland during the autumn or winter season! #mytripvlog

UNESCO - Bern Old Town

What can you do in Bern, the capital of Switzerland, on a day off?

I always thought Zurich was the capital of Switzerland, but after learning more, I realized that Bern is the capital of Switzerland. Maybe it's just more low-key! The day I went happened to be a day off. Apart from a few restaurants that were open, all other shops were closed. I envy people who have a work-life balance~ When I was making the travel guide, I saw many people saying that you can go to the bear pit to see bears. After coming here, I found that it's not what I imagined, but the surrounding scenery is still very beautiful. I admire the Swiss people once again!

#summerfest Welcome to the lovely city of Bern and the capital of Switzerland. Bern is a very unique city because the River goes around the inner old town and it is so much fun to swim in it because the current takes you from the one end of the city in a big circle to the other end of the city. the old town has many beautiful buildings that are accessible for everyone. furthermore the swimming pools are free for everyone #mountainview

Bern Strolling Guide

🌟Origin of the name Bern In 1191, the Duke of Zähringen, who ruled central Switzerland, chose the highlands of Bern, which had no name at the time, as the location for his castle fortress, and decided on a whim to name the place after the first game he hunted in the forest. As a result, a bear was caught and Bern became known as the "City of Bears" (Bern is derived from the German word for "bear," Bären). Therefore, walking on the streets of Bern, you can see the coat of arms and flags with bear patterns everywhere. ❤Bern's feature: the old town with arcades This ancient city, composed of colorful fountains, sandstone buildings, and cobblestone streets, is protected by a 6-kilometer-long arcade (locally known as "Lauben") and has become the longest covered shopping and walking arcade in Europe. Whether it's sunny or rainy, this authentic medieval city is a perfect place for leisurely strolls. 🌟Main attractions: Strolling in Bern, there is really no need to deliberately search for any scenic spots. The city's three landmarks - the Clock Tower (Zeitglockenturm), the Cathedral (Münster Bern), and the Federal Palace (Bundeshaus) are so eye-catching that it's hard to imagine anyone could ignore them. The exquisite clock tower is located next to the old city gate on the grocery street. If you come before the hour, you can watch the finely carved bears, roosters, and Father Time take turns to chime with the clock. The intricately designed clock face not only tells time, but also shows the season, month, date, week, and whether the moon is full or not, if you can read it. Amidst the shops, banks, and restaurants that line the street, 49 Grocery Street is unremarkable. If it weren't for the patent office technician with disheveled hair who wrote the theory of relativity here, this ordinary house would probably go unnoticed. Back then, Einstein and his first wife Mileva rented the top three floors of this house, where they not only wrote the theory of special relativity, but also welcomed the birth of their first daughter. Now it has been converted into a memorial hall, with exhibits that try to replicate the scenes of Einstein's family life at the time. 🚉Transportation guide: Although Bern is the capital of Switzerland, there is no large international airport within its borders. In order to protect the overall style of the local medieval city from excessive modernization, most local residents rejected the resolution to build an international airport. However, transportation throughout Switzerland is very convenient, and it is easy to reach Bern by train or car. ⏳Playtime: Recommend spending a day to visit Bern.

UNESCO Site

#celebratewithtrip I am grateful and fortunate to have traveled through many parts of Switzerland and Bern is among the best among the cities. Bern, the Swiss capital, is often overlooked by tourists as one of many Swiss destinations; they make a huge mistake. The old town of Bern, a winding lane of houses, medieval roofs and majestic stone bridges, is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it’s also traveler’s paradise with friendly people and lots of things to see and do. Bern offers abundance of great photo spots. You can admire the Bern rooftops both from Rosengarten and Barengraben. Overall I think if you ever going to Switzerland make sure Bern is include in your list #tripblazers #fallingforfall

The first two were taken in Switzerland 20 years ago. At that time, I was studying in Germany. I didnt have much travel expenses. I spent a lot of time traveling to neighboring countries. The next four are in Alaska. I have become a professional traveler. I am walking on the roads of the world, walking through glaciers, snow mountains and deserts, and my love for the world is getting deeper and deeper. I will always be on the road.

The Aare River divides Bern in two, the west bank is the old town, the east bank is the new city, and the seven wide bridges across the Aare River connect the old town and the new town Bern Old Town, originally a wooden structure Several fires in the Middle Ages burned all the wooden buildings. Later, it was rebuilt and changed to a stone structure, which has remained intact. The bright streets paved with round stones, the arcades connected to each other on the streets, the old houses with red tiles and white walls, and many streets in the streets of the city of Bern, so Bern is also known as the "spring city". ". There are 11 fountains in the city of Bern, which stand in the middle of the street. It not only provides the people with a visual view of the history and culture of Switzerland and Bern, but also thirsty when shopping.
