Biel/Bienne Switzerland - Discover The Heartland of Swiss Watch Making | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids

The town of Biel/Bienne is the metropolis of Swiss watchmaking and headquarters to brands such as Rolex, Tissot & Swatch. It’s located along the eastern end of the same called lake just at the foot of the first mountain range of the Jura Mountains.
It is renowned for its historic center and has a charming bilingual tradition. The old city of Bienne includes a 15th-century Gothic church, guild halls and fountains. While the newer buildings include the Neuhaus and Schwab Museums and the Centre PasquArt.
So with excellent museums, restaurants, and cafés, Biel/Bienne is definitely a great place to visit.

I was born and grew up in Biel/Bienne. Really nice video and quite interesting to watch you explore and discover my old hometown. Biel/Bienne is the only official bilingual city in Switzerland, you can see road names marked in german and french. Also going to cinema is fun as movies are shown in their original language and subtitles in german and french. Was quite a shock for me the first time in a cinema outside of Biel/Bienne: why the heck are they talking german? Oh, i see. If you're ever close to us (9115), we're sure have a coffee for you...or a coke zero (50% off, just kidding).

I am watching from Romania. I used to live in Biel for 4 years and all can I say is that I love Swiss, I love Biel. ❤️🇨🇭

Between Biel and Lausanne which is beautiful?

[@pummelmops9671]

Lausanne is beutiful

[@MS-dp2qg]

@@pummelmops9671 what about Biel and Zurich?

[@Vermine_]

Lived there for the first 15 years of my life and had to move to Vevey, I’ve been living there for 5 years and I still miss Bienne with all my heart

[@beafitze5909]

You're reminding me that there's a lot of Switzerland I haven't seen - even after 30 odd years here - happy prospect! That water park looks fabulous, but I'll make sure I catch a less windy, choppy day! Lovely video as always guys. :-)

[@l0riz624]

thanks for visiting Biel Bienne! i was born there too and the city is fantastic! Sports, Socializing, Education...

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Wow that's so cool glad you enjoyed the video!❤️

[@patrikschneider5993]

Thanks for waking up my earliest memories. Born 1961 in Biel-Bienne, raised and educated in its schools, learned to swim in the Strandbad Biel :-) ! You girls did a great job (don't use this combination of words too much ;-) ). Cheers, P@.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Oh wow that’s amazing. I hope we brought you back some nice warm memories.

[@patrikschneider5993]

@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders you did! And you gave me the chance to share my home town with some (only) English speaking American friends 😉... Cheers, P@.

[@timbanker7666]

Fun and informative .... thanks for continuing to share your tours or CH!

Bienne 😍

[@gingerz169]

Your daughters are brave! I couldn't imagine myself jumping from a bridge into a river.

[@lchg6028]

I live in Biel-Bienne, that bridge is not very high. At that spot, there's just one little thing because it's a quite shallow canal. I often go SUPing under this bridge. the water is there just about two meters deep

[@MsSFDk]

The little water park looked like so much fun for the girls. Beautiful trip!

[@mjrage64]

Ty for Video 👍🏻 Gruss mjrage from Nidau b. Biel 😘

[@russellturner1909]

Electric bike car .that's a very long bus .the water looks clean to swim in .cool place 😎😎😎

[@maxman3862]

I have lived in this city for most of my life and it is really weird to see tourists tour my city and being suprised about how it looks and stuff.

[@manuelhenner1262]

Sehr schön mein Biel. Ich lebe und liebe hier :-) Euer Video ist sehr sympathisch. Hoffentlich kommt ihr wieder einmal. Liebe Grüsse aus Biel/ Nidau :-)

[@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937]

I was able to watch this video without getting water up my nose. Ha ha. I'm in a city in the US five hours nine minutes due south of Vancouver, British Columbia and 1hour 41 minutes north of the 45th parallel, in Washington State. I'm not sure if the girls would have any fun guessing my city.

[@PixelMotion]

it's really very beautiful i wish to visit someday here

[@tomfisher8951]

Beautiful.... thank you guys

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Confusing Swiss Franks with dollars gets expensive fast (German person online shopping here)

[@99Ctube]

Uhm it's about the same, the US Dollar and the Swiss Franc.

[@Ducati368]

May i know how long it takes from Biel to Neuchatel by taking the boat? Swiss pass cover?

[@eisenjeisen6262]

Cool! Thanks for letting us know! 🙌

[@fufusruffcutt6722]

I noticed in your lovely film that there are Cars unlocked, Motorbikes without Chains and Padlocks, Houses with their windows open, No spray painting, No busted windows and amazingly NO CRACK DEALERS on every street corner, and they say the USA is the most advanced country in the world ! Last night outside my window there was gunfire and Cop cars with sirens screaming everywhere, gimmie Europe anyday, sure beats Michigan !!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Oh wow! That doesn't sound like fun...

[@familystuedeli-plueschke1895]

Biel in Switzerland actually has the reputation of being a "dirty" city with the highest unemployment rate. I live here and love it. :-)

[@Gurfi28]

You got the wrong impression. Leave your car unattended and open for 2 minutes and your valuables will be gone..

[@biennemikael7447]

Oof my name😶

11:43 omg yas I can recognise a Mercadona's bag when I see one. God save that supermarket

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

😂😂😂Yeah, we’ve been many times to Mercadona.

[@eisenjeisen6262]

That was very beautiful, that was also some jump into the water from that bridge ,do they allow that their? and i have to ask, any discount for a Rolex watch? and those girls are getting to be big girls, with their little bathing suits, and thank you so much for that upload i love you all Jerome from Florida and loved it more this time around now i do a little shopping and see you later bye bye

[@MS-dp2qg]

Don't buy shoes in Switzerland cross the boader in German or France or italy. You will always get 3 times less the price

Unfortunately, this city has become a mess lately. It is no longer a Swiss city. You can guess why...
