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. Leave a Comment

 rooftops by Rhondaj We came for the day to stroll and shop. Our little homebase village, Kandersteg, has very few shops. Berne's lovely old town is the perfect place to spend a day. After arriving at Berne's train station, lower level, we started on Spitalgasse. As you travel down the streets, notice that their names change! The old town is surrounded by the river Aare. If you were to look at a map, the old town is very much in the shape of a thumb of a hand surrounded by water. Leave a Comment

by Rhondaj Plenty of cafes here to stop for a bite to eat, enjoy the old town architecture, and people watch--all at the same time. Leave a Comment

by btex walk around the old part of the city
there are many quaint old buildings, clock towers, statues/fountains. The picture shows one of the many fountains that you will encounter on a tour of Old Bern - the fountains are from the 15th Century and represent mythological and historical figures. Also, there are many opportunities for shopping as well: boutiques, antique stores, cafes, and so on.... Leave a Comment

Bern has a well-preserved Old town (Altstadt) with straight streets, sandstone buidings, uniform red roofs, two towers and a long archway shopping area. Leave a Comment

by berne1 walk from the train station all the way down to old town Bern. On your way you can make some shopping and you will pass several beatiful buildings. As Bern is the capital city of Switzerland there are many goverment buildings and also cathedrals and of course you will see many bank buildings and places.
Summer in Bern is very beautiful. You can drink something on one of the beautiful places in the city or you can go for a swim in the river called 'Aare'. We also have many lakes arround Bern and of course the mountains are not that fare away. Leave a Comment

by Tolik walk along Kramgasse. From my point of view, this is the finest street in Bern. The row of Baroque facades here is exceptionally harmonious, and the two beautiful fountains provide an attractive contrast...and Zytgloggeturm (Clock Tower), the city’s landmark. Leave a Comment

One of the best parts of Berne is: You can go shopping without getting wet (All paveways are covered).
