Highlights
Bern, Switzerland, the home of 3 Bears, 2 Languages and 1 Federal Government is the perfect city to discover on foot. Your guide for this tour comes with extensive experience and hundreds of 5 star ratings. Please come along for an exploration of this charming UNESCO World Heritage Site. On this tour we journey through the arcades and passages of the Old Town. Along the way you'll see not one but two clock towers, the Swiss Parliament and learn why we don't use the words, capital city. We'll also stop by Dr. Einstein's old apartment and I'll tell you where you can find more of him in town. Then there are the fountains, cheese shops, churches, chocolates and bears. In addition to seeing bears all around town we'll walk over to the Bear Park to meet the locals. Exploring a city is much more fun when you know the stories, facts and legends that shaped it.

About Bern
Bern, the Swiss federal city, is a medieval old town on a bend of the Aare River, with arcaded streets, a clock tower and a park of bears.
Bern's old town sits on a narrow peninsula in a tight loop of the Aare River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of sandstone houses with long covered arcades that shelter shops and cafés along the main streets. The Zytglogge, a medieval clock tower with an astronomical clock, puts on a show of moving figures before the hour. The Gothic Minster has the tallest spire of any church in Switzerland, and the city is the seat of the federal government.
Top-ranked sights in Bern: Kleine Scheidegg, Bern Clock Tower (Zytglogge), Bern Cathedral (Bern Minster).
