Nice city! I recommend the rooftop of the Schweizerhof hotel for watching the sunset.

[@swissfoodie3542]

The bar on the rooftop of the Schweizerhof Hotel is indeed great for views. Its however extremely expensive, even for Swiss standards (I am swiss, and for me its way too expensive).

[@onefinedayincalifornia4646]

Wow the sunset reflection on Alps is so majestic... Wish I was here in person! Can’t believe you guys saw all 10 things in a day!!!

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

[@leahbell15]

the view from the gurten mountains are inredible. the town looks so picturesque from up there.

[@beloved70x7]

I so love the old city of Bern plus the aerial view from the Muenster Cathedral.

[@dontworryimfinite]

The streets and architecture there llook so beautiful! Would love to see the Einstein Haus. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I need to visit! You 2 really make these places look So accessible and beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@TravelInteresante]

The architecture is so impressive love the lively streets too. Such amazing sceneries, love the 360 view from the tower (and it's free!)

[@vidayluzm4478]

Excelente! Muchas Gracias chicos. Lo voy a disfrutar con vuestros tips . Saludos !

[@travelmu]

Very nice tour. Love it. This is the best I watch love you show the place and incredible...

[@peterho8007]

Great town . Thanks for the video, u 2 keep up with the good work.

[@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens]

Bern looks amazing and the views....WOW WOW. So cool to see all the cyclists going up to the top and your picnic looked so awesome and can imagine the music fest must be unreal. The sunset on the alps..... we are so very envious right now...keep up the great work. OE LOVE

[@CarolandDerek]

Love the view, also the architecture is much better than we expected. The tower is a neat idea with great views. Thanks for another wonderful video 🌈👍

[@jazzthrowout265]

Stone Age and Roman settlements were found in and around Bern but when the current city was founded in 1191, the Duke of Zähringen said he would name the city after the first animal he hunted on the site (which then was all forrest). That animal was a bear, so he named the city Bern. We sometimes joke that it was good he didn't hunt down a snail even though that would have been more fitting as Berners are said to be rather slow people... 😄

[@Zanarkdi]

I bet anyone is slower than luzerns... damn they are lighting fast!!!

[@churymia]

I was thinking going to Bern but this definitely made me want to go!

[@swissfoodie3542]

I live near Berne and whilst its probably not one of the most exciting cities in the word, its so beautiful and the quality of living is really great. If you go there, here some reccommendations: The Rosengarten (near the Bear park) is a lovely garden with amazing views over the city (for me, better than from the Gurten). The restaurant there is good but not cheap. The Aare river is the "lifeline" of Berne. In sommer, swimming in the river is great, but only if you are a good swimmer, dont go alone, and if the current is not too strong (which it is this year). Walking along the river is also great. One of the most accessible places is at Dälhölzli, where there is also a very nice Zoo. If you are in Berne on a thursday or saturday, dont miss the fresh produce markets - the one in the old town is very scenic. If you like modern art, the Paul Klee museum is great.

[@franh8043]

Thank you for the information!! I'm heading there today from Interlaken! 😊 it looks like it'll rain today but my friend and I will try to make the most out of the visit!

[@jasontheworldisyours]

So many things to do. Great advice

[@puddle7682]

Really very good tips!

[@WhereIsNabu]

#5 would love to see the bears! and #7 looks epic!

[@neeldhruvotara]

Cool country to stay and this is such a lovely city vlog. U guys a top notch vloggers. Keep making such great video's.

[@TravelInPink]

Wonderful tour of a city I still have to visit. Thanks for the many tips 😉🥰👍

[@KristenandSam]

Great video! Hopefully we can make it to Switzerland one day!

[@LooneyMooneyfuntimes]

Great clip guys ❤️️👍 Definitely a great place to visit 😍

[@hikebikesleeprepeat1587]

I have to go here!! Thanks for the tour.

[@traveling8799]

Very beautiful old Town in Switzerland, beautiful architecture old buildings and great scenery streets 👌 The funicular remained me about Interlaken 👍 Have good day my friend 👍

[@alyselopez5817]

Because of your video we got to go on the toboggan run in Bern so Thank you! We wouldn't have known about it otherwise. We went in October & the city was so beautiful with all the fall colors!

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

So glad you could enjoy it!

[@Fit4Expedition]

Gorgeous! I'll get there some day. This was a very nice mix of architecture and nature. I enjoyed myself. Thanks for sharing!

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

Love the old town feel. Grizzly bear!! Well that’s pretty cool

[@Explorcation]

Too bad you were just a month too late for the toboggan run. That looks like a blast. Bern looks to be a city that you can really enjoy even with many things being closed, with all of its beautiful architecture and landscapes.

[@flowertt6453]

So beautiful travel video! Great travel and a wonderful city, thanks for sharing 👍👍😊

[@gowalker5416]

Learnt many new things about Switzerland in your video! So Bern is the capital!

[@chgabbel]

No that is wrong, Bern is just the location of the federal government building, Bern was chosen to host some federal buildings back in 1848, because it was far away from the border and near to the french speaking part of Switzerland. Also because it was a quiet small town and due to the fact that the other cantons all could not settle on a city to host these buildings. Correct would be: blog.nationalmuseum.ch/en/2018/11/how-berne-became-the-seat-of-government/ But read this article, even here officials get it wrong: www.swissinfo.ch/eng/-federal-city-_why-is-bern-the-capital-of-switzerland-/44577476 The reason why Switzerland became complicated is, after Napoleon lost a Waterloo, it was decided that Switzerland should be a demilitarized Zone, so that Europe would no longer be at a constant fight. -We all know what happened after... WW1 and WW2 and EU ;-(.

[@destinationdero]

Bern looks amazing. Great tips 👍

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

Very nice! I think my favourites to try out of these in the future will be the bears, the toboggan, and to climb the tower.

[@glass_parton]

I discovered your channel while I'm visiting Geneva for work for a few weeks. I had a couple of days off the other day, so without any real plan at all, I took the train to Bern and just wandered around. I wish I had seen this video beforehand, because then I wouldn't have missed out on taking the funicular up the mountain. I hope to come back for a vacation in the future with my girlfriend, so we'll have to check it out next time. Other than that, I went everywhere else you did and I really enjoyed Bern!

[@MrMrsMemories]

Another great video, good information 👍

[@RDKWorship]

Traveling yg luar biasa 👍

[@edisonareis]

Awesomeness guys ! Thanks for showing Bern to us. I am hoping to visit someday in the future (my company has a head office in Geneva so it may be a way to get a free trip) Thanks for the video and awesome scenery. Keep them coming

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

awesome! hope you're able to visit once this pandemic is behind us!

[@KoneTravelVlog]

Great tour again.

[@AprilChu]

I would love to visit Einstein's apartment! That would definitely be something on my must visit list once the pandemic is over. My daughter would really enjoy seeing the bears. And the toboggan run looks super fun...I have to make sure we get there during the summer/fall months to be able to do that!

[@DramaQueenMalena]

The Einstein house is not that impressive. There is an Einstein Museum i the same building as the historical museum.

[@LucasWorldTravel]

The bridge is beautiful. I love those streets. The bears! I would love to ride a bike down. It's a beautiful view. The Alps are lovely. Safe travels!

[@NghiaPhamV84]

This video is really informative and helpful. Your country is so beautiful. My bucket list 😍

[@TooMuchLuggage]

First 😸thank you sharing. We didn’t get a chance to see Berns when we were in Switzerland 🇨🇭. Hopefully on our next trip. Gorgeous sunset

[@BeingBedingfield]

Totally learnt something new today...didn’t know Bern was the capital 🙈 What an amazing city! The views from the top are stunning! How cool would the taboggan run be 🤗 We would really love to have a picnic up at that spot that you suggested, especially during a music festival! The view from the tower is absolutely beautiful 🤩 The lovely sunset was such a great way to end your video ❤️

[@angkorcambodiafromhomes79]

👏The video is very good. Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day.💕👍👍

[@buiskanilya8414]

Beautiful videos and your sense of fashion is on fleek! Can’t wait to visit Switzerland 🇨🇭 soon.

[@TheAverageTourist]

These l seem like great attractions and things to do in Bern. I'd love to see that Einstein museum and the bear sanctuary looks pretty interesting. The bears look very well fed. Great overview of the attractions.

[@WalkandTravelTV]

❤️Beautiful ambiance! Excellent walking tour! Like from walking in Russia👍🚶

[@OTWD_yt]

Actually can’t wait to visit Switzerland

[@arunashrivastava7081]

very informative video👍🏻

[@bekgilbert6562]

My great great grandfather immigrated to the US through Ellis Island from the state(correct me if I used the wrong term) of Bern. He was from La Chaux de Fonds and his ancestors(as of today June 28 2022) I've found as far back as 1532 were in Langnau, Bern for several generations. I have one "big thing" on my bucket list to do before I die to visit as many regions that my ancestors were from. My great grandfather died in a logging accident soon after my nanna was conceived so she never got to know about where her father's Swiss side came from. I've made it my life goal to fill in the gaps since my paternal grandfather was adopted at a young age, nanna(paternal grandma) never knew her birth father, and my birth mom left my life(still alive but don't speak to her) when I was 5. Piecing together everything has helped me fill a hole I've had in me not knowing where I came from and everyone always being so hush hush about our family history. Thank you guys so much for showing the beautiful capital of my ancestor's homeland. Channels like yours help me to be able to dive deeper into knowing what their lives were like, even if it's just based on scenery and architecture. ❤️

[@TheWorldThroughMyEyes_YD]

Wow....so beautiful 😍 I'd love to experience such an amazing walking tour❤️ Thank you for sharing ✨

[@임영권-q3s]

Good video!! I Love swiss.

[@PursueWhatMatters]

Thanks Alexis and Louis! I'm taking notes like I'm in school but fun school if you know what I mean. My family will be traveling through Switzerland for my birthday in just a few week.

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Amazing! I hope you have an exciting trip. If you have any questions when planning or traveling you can send us a DM on instagram and we'd be happy to help!

[@calangobass6044]

Thank you!

[@IfWeGoTo]

Looks so cool! I didn't know Bern was the capital. You guys should totally do a video when they have that music festival!

[@swissfoodie3542]

The Gurten Festival is indeed very cool. Here a video of concert by Patent Ochsner, a very popular local band (before COVID). The song as 20h50 is especially famous. Its about "our" airport (which is tiny and in the middle of fields). Bälpmoos, Bälpmoos...

[@scuffle1345]

I love Gurten.

wonderful Bern video :)17

[@stefanofrazzi2799]

Beautiful city I've been living here in Bern for ages Another thing to do is to visit the Rosengarten

[@suyogpatilmimicryandcomedi2315]

Nice video 👌👌👌

[@andersliljevall2097]

City planners should take a look at Bern. Those archways, where pedestrians are sheltered from snow and rain were built 200 years ago ! At least!

[@JackyAndTheWifey]

Wow guys Switserland! This country has always been in our bucketlist eversince. We were supposed to go this year, but due to corona we couldn't. Seeing the 360 view. Wow amazing! Thanks for sharing the city of Bern guys and for the tips. Enjoyed watching 😊 #jackyandthewifey

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Shame Einstein’s house was closed, that would’ve been awesome! I went to Freud’s house in London a few years back and it was fascinating🤯 that bear did look adorable, hopefully he has a nice big enclosure, we recently saw our first ever brown bear and he actually charged at me!😳😅(Kirsty) the picnic spot looked beautiful, thanks for climbing the tower and showing us the views!

[@claudiaagatha]

ohhh Bern 😍😍😍😍

[@travelsinsidecambodia]

This old town is very nice place 🇰🇭😍

[@shaqtaku]

Feel the Bern🇨🇭🔥🔥🔥

[@filmsbykatharina.]

I love bern!

[@DjusLife]

Is the toboggan run for adults or kids? I’ve seen videos before and always wanted to do it, nice to hear that it’s not too expensive too and that you can bring a bike up the funicular to get another downhill experience in the off season. Love that you guys also do picnics in your day trips we love then too! I’ll also say that the free (cost: climb up stairs) 360 view looks very nice. Great video as always

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Toboggan is for both adults and kids! We did one earlier this summer and it was honestly SO fun (even a bit scary!)

[@Ananases1983]

at the bears you have a beer in the Restaurant Altes Tramdepot. It's the best in Bern!🍺🍻

[@mrezaborujerdi8224]

very nice👌🏻😍

[@TheMapPinners]

Really? I didn't realize Bern was the capital. Good to know! Looks like a great city and some amazing architecture :) I especially loved the clocktower - it reminded me of Prague. Nice video as always. P.S. Love your purple coat.

[@lchg6028]

Well, technically speaking Bern is the federal city and not the capital. Because when the Helvetic Confederation (aka Switzerland) was founded in 1815, it was important to diversify the political power all over the country, so it was decided not to write down a place as capital in the constitution. This technicality exists to this day. Even though Bern is the de facto capital

[@shraddha5185]

Is the day ticket purchased from bern only validated in bern itself or in Zurich too?

[@marcmonnerat4850]

Nice, but you forget Bern's national sport: _Arareschwum_ or _Arreböötle_ (swimming or rafting in the Aare river)!

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Ah! We'll definitely have to come back - we were in Bern in the fall so was a bit too cold, but would love to visit again this summer! let me know if there is anything else we should check out!

[@marcmonnerat4850]

@@TheTravelingSwiss Hm, _Marzili Bahn_ (DMB), a nice way to coming back from Marzili (expensive if you don't have the GA), the _Sod- und Stockbrunnen_ (if you are interested in water-related installations), outside Bern, the _Stundensteine_, which are stones placed along roads every one hour from the _Zytglogge_ (17-18th century), the _Steinbrüche_ in Ostermundingen (half of Bern is built with these stones), the _Stadtbach_ which is a real 10 km long river (you missed the artwork at the end), and many other. I discover all these places during the many lockdowns we had, so it may (or not) be of interest to you.

[@SaltyBeaverExplores]

Nice tour of the city! I would love to ride the Gurtenbahn. #saltybeaverexplores
