Tour 1 with Patrick

If walls could talk, the city of Bern had a lot of stories to tell! Some are thrilling, others would make you laugh. As walls can't talk, we would love to stroll around the old town of Bern with you, dive into more than 800 years of history of this beautiful jewel and share some old as well as new stories with you.

 

In about 2h we will discover the old town, we will learn why people in Bern are so obsessed by bears, why it's legal to pee against the clock tower and lots of other useful facts about this UNESCO world heritage site at the river Aare.

Why was Bern build the way it was? What happened in a mysterious building in the old town? Where is the unofficial meeting point in Bern? Discover some unknown facts and enjoy the city! Looking forward meeting you – cheers Anja

Tour 3 with Melinda

After our start at a few of the main sights of Bern we will slowly head off the beaten tracks to explore some hidden pieces of history as well as some of today's hotspots in Bern. Even people who already know this city might learn something they haven't known before, such as where we find the "Hotel Bitterblick", who was commissioned to create one of the many fountains of Bern or why the plague did not rage as strongly in Bern as in other medieval cities.
