Hello I hope some Swiss people or other people with an good idea can help me.
Me and 4 friends (5 people) good educated and for sure no hooligens :) got tickets for the EK match between the Netherlands and Italy...
Bern is a small city and most of the hotels are already fully booked. ANd we dont want a camping or very expensive hotel.
Can anyone help me... do you know someone who has an small hotel thats not so known by the internet. Maybe a cottage or just any idea were 5 people can sleep for a long weekend...
Your help would be great :)
greets Ron
The weekend is from 7 till 10 June ( match on 9th of June) (3 nights)
I know it is 56 kms from Bern (all motorway) but would Interlaken be an option?

Veel plezier daar!
Thanks for your answer but 56 km from Bern is no option :)
Hi,
How about Thun or Biel which are both about 30min. away by train ? As far as I know the ticket includes the public service on the day of the match.
Camping in Switzerland is really pleasant and very clean. I know you said you would rather not, but depending on how booked the hotels are you may have to camp. Have you looked at hostels in Bern? I stayed at Bern Backpackers and loved it. I agree with the suggestion of looking at Thun. It's very close to Bern and it's also a very beautiful town.
Good luck!
Hi Ron
If you look at the following website there are many options including private rooms. With 5 persons you might have difficulties to stay at the same place together and I have no idea how much everthing is already booked.

But if you google: euro 08 bern unterkunft ,you will get plenty of options beside the normal hotel booking options.
There is an initiative where privat people offer beds all over Switzerland for moderate prices. Probably a good opportunity get to know a few locals too.
Good luck
Pleasant city, not too large. in a beautiful landscape. Bern is the capital of Switzerland and has a population of app. 127.000. The spoken languague in Berndütsch, a Swiss-German dialect, but most people speak German (we have to learn it at school), French and many people speak English as well
Bern's citizens discovered the advantage of adding arcades to their houses already in the late middle ages. The houses can be enlarged without buying more ground if the sidewalks are covered, and the shops are protected from the weather. Most streets have arcades on both sides with many little shops underneath. Pedestrians can walk and stroll underneath, being protected from rain, summer heat and winter snow.
This makes Bern a perfect "Plan B" for bad weather days when excursions into the mountains and on the lakes cannot be done. Thanks to Switzerland's gorgeous train system Bern can easily be reached for a day trip.
Bern has almost 6 kilometers of arcades, one of the longest shopping promenades in Europe. The main advantage : it?s weather-proof; even when it rains, window-shopping is fun.
This shopping galleries include antiques, fashion boutiques, tobacco, small department store, jewellers, restaurants and cafes etc.
This building is the house of parliament.

Visit Kunstmuseum (Art Museum). This important museum displays the third-largest art collection in Switzerland - and the largest gathering of works by Paul Klee in the world.
A Swiss-born painter and graphic artist whose personal, often gently humorous works are replete with allusions to dreams, music, and poetry, Paul Klee,(1879 - 1940), is difficult to classify.
Primitive art, surrealism, cubism, and children's art all seem blended into his small-scale, delicate paintings, watercolors, and drawings. Klee grew up in a musical family and was himself a violinist. After much hesitation he chose to study art, not music, and he attended the Munich Academy in 1900. There his teacher was the popular symbolist and society painter Franz von STUCK. Klee later toured Italy (1901-02), responding enthusiastically to Early Christian and Byzantine art.
Klee's early works are mostly etchings and pen-and-ink drawings. These combine satirical, grotesque, and surreal elements and reveal the influence of Francisco de Goya and James Ensor, both of whom Klee admired. Two of his best-known etchings, dating from 1903, are Virgin in a Tree and Two Men Meet, Each Believing the Other to Be of Higher Rank. Such peculiar, evocative titles are characteristic of Klee and give his works an added dimension of meaning.

Q: Hotel Wilhelm Tell - Anyone out there with a Review? "Hello! I am down to my 6 days before getting to Bern and we are still going back and forth between hotels! Can someone please..."
A: "You're right, I've searched on-line and can't find reviews of this hotel. It's also not listed on VT. Sometimes "no review" is a good thing. A lot of the reviews out..."
