Hotels in Bern

Arcaded walkways stretch for miles through the UNESCO-listed Old Town, where 16th-century fountains punctuate cobblestone streets with whimsical sculptures. The Zytglogge clock tower performs its mechanical dance on the hour, drawing crowds who've just finished espresso at sidewalk cafés. Einstein developed his theory of relativity while living here - visit his apartment to see where genius bloomed. The Münster cathedral tower rewards climbers with panoramic views of red rooftops and the turquoise Aare River below. On summer days, join locals who float downstream in the current, clutching waterproof bags containing perfectly dry clothes and picnic supplies.
