Guided Walking Tour in Bern

Discover Bern, Switzerland’s charming capital, on a guided walking tour through its UNESCO-listed old town, where cobbled streets, covered arcades, and centuries-old sandstone buildings bring history to life.

Meet your guide at Bern’s main train station or your central hotel and begin exploring the city’s historic heart. Start with the striking Holy Ghost Church before venturing into the old town, where medieval streets, arcades, and fountains create a unique atmosphere of history set in stone.

Stroll through Spitalgasse, Bärenplatz, and Marktgasse, home to Bern’s famous fountains and local shops. Along the way, admire the Zytglogge, the city’s iconic mechanical clock tower, in operation for over 800 years, and, if timing allows, watch its figures come to life on the hour.

At Bundesplatz, take in the Swiss Parliament building, Switzerland’s political center and a lively meeting point.

You may choose to include an optional visit to the Einstein House on Kramgasse, where Albert Einstein once lived, or climb the tower of the Berner Münster for panoramic views over the old town, the Aare River, and the Alps.

Continue to the Bear Park, home to Bern’s symbolic animals, now set along the riverbanks.

The tour concludes at the Rose Garden, a beautifully landscaped park, offering one of the finest panoramic views over the city, with an on-site restaurant overlooking Bern.
