Know more about your day trip
Bern stands out with its exceptionally well-preserved medieval old town- a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring 6 kilometers of arcaded shopping promenades (Lauben), distinctive 16th-century fountains with colorful sculptures, the Zytglogge medieval clock tower with moving figures, and charming sandstone buildings that create a harmonious architectural ensemble.
The drive from Basel to Bern takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes covering a distance of about 100 kilometers. With a private Daytrip transfer you'll travel comfortably through the scenic Swiss countryside with the option to make stops at interesting locations along the way.
Don't miss the Zytglogge (clock tower) with its astronomical clock and moving figures, the 15th-century Bern Minster (cathedral) with Switzerland's tallest spire the Bear Park (BƤrenpark) where the city's symbols live the Einstein Museum, and the Parliament Building with its impressive dome.
Absolutely. With 5 hours to explore, you can thoroughly enjoy Bern's compact old town, visit several museums (the Einstein Museum, Paul Klee Center, or Historical Museum), enjoy lunch at a riverside restaurant, and still have time for shopping under the medieval arcades. The city is perfectly sized for a satisfying day trip.
Bern's old town occupies a peninsula created by a sharp bend in the Aare River, providing natural protection on three sides. The uniform sandstone buildings with their distinctive red roofs, arcaded walkways, and cellar shops create a cohesive medieval appearance, while the 11 ornate Renaissance fountains add colorful focal points throughout the city.
Yes, the Rose Garden (Rosengarten) above the Bear Park offers spectacular panoramic views of the old town and the river. The Bern Minster tower provides another excellent vantage point after climbing 344 steps. For a unique perspective, try walking along the Aare River or crossing one of the historic bridges that span it.
Bern offers excellent opportunities to try traditional Swiss cuisine. Sample local specialties like Bernese platter (mixed meats and sauerkraut), rosti (potato dish), raclette, or fondue at historic restaurants in the old town. The covered market halls also offer fresh local products and casual dining options.
Bern's historic center is compact and pedestrian-friendly, with most attractions within walking distance of each other. Public transportation is excellent, with free tram and bus service included in most hotel stays. The arcaded walkways provide shelter for exploring even during inclement weather, making Bern an ideal destination year-round.
