Holidays in Bern
Hotels
Bern is not only the capital of Switzerland, but also a true treasure trove of art. The city's main attractions are located along three streets that form an incredibly beautiful chain.
What makes Bern so appealing?
The first thing all tourists should know about Bern is that the bear is the city's symbol. Not only is one of the city's main squares called Bear Square, but since the 16th century, there has also been a so-called Bear Pit, home to honey lovers.
A tour of the city's sights begins with the Baroque church and Protestant cathedral (1726-1729). One of Bern's strangest landmarks is the Child Eater fountain. It depicts a giant devouring little sinners. The sculpture was intended to guide people toward a righteous lifestyle, but today, the fountain hasn't had the desired effect, even on local residents.
The Zytthologgeturm bell tower, dating back to the 12th century, is rightfully considered the city's calling card. A mechanism is installed on the bell tower that displays the time, day of the week, month, zodiac sign, and moon phases. Every hour, bear figures emerge from the clock, accompanied by the crowing of a rooster.
A vacation in Bern is a wonderful opportunity to experience life in Switzerland and explore the country's hidden corners.
A stroll along Kramgasse, literally dotted with Baroque houses, is a fascinating experience. Two fountains dating back to the 16th century and the house where Albert Einstein once lived are also located here.
Every year, during Easter, residents and visitors to the city are presented with the so-called honorary citizens, who are newborn bear cubs.
Tours to Bern are an opportunity to visit the most floral city in the world, which happily welcomes visitors.
