Overview

Bern is one of the most beautiful and least known capitals in Europe, and this tour is designed to give you the best of it, even if you only have one day.

I'll take you to the places you can't miss: medieval cobblestone streets declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 16th century fountains, Switzerland's most famous astronomical clock, and the corners where the history of an entire nation took shape.

In two hours you will learn:
Why Bern is the de facto capital of Switzerland.
The story behind the bear as a symbol of the city
How the Zytglogge, the 13th-century astronomical clock, works
Bern's connection to Albert Einstein
How the Swiss Confederation was formed and why it matters to this day

We will visit: the Federal Parliament, the Bear Square and Park, the Ogre Fountain, the Clock Tower, Einstein's House and the Bern Cathedral.

This is the perfect tour if it's your first time in the city, if you only have a few hours or if you want to understand Switzerland beyond the postcards.Book your place now!

Important note: Only book if you have confirmed that you will be able to attend - every place is a traveler to whom I want to give the best.

Meeting point

Entre el Kleine Schanze y el Bernerhof

On arrival

Please leave your phone number. Then I will contact you the day before to send you the exact location. Otherwise, you will find me in the hallway between the Kleine Schanze and the Bernerhof. You will recognize me by my badge and I will be holding a yellow flag at the meeting point.

Things to note

Please consider arriving 5 minutes early to the meeting point and canceling if you are not sure of your attendance, that way spaces are freed up and no page fees are charged.

The tour will start very late, 5 minutes past the established tour time in order to respect the time of the people in the group.

Don't forget to bring with you:
- Comfortable shoes.
- Refillable water bottle.
- Cash (Swiss Francs).
- Clothing and accessories according to the weather forecast.
