Overview

The old town of Bern is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Legend states that Duke Berchthold of Zahringen named the city after the first animal he killed during a hunting expedition: it was a Bear!

Here you will enjoy a medieval air of the city with its Renaissance fountains, narrow streets and historic towers... and not only!

During our tour we will:

- taste the best, according to the version of the last few years, the country's chocolate. And it's not about Toblerone, who, by the way, is also from Bern.

- We will see a very unusual restaurant, it is better to book a table in it in advance, where the French invaders died drowning in wine.

- Find out where Bernese gin is produced (you can learn how to cook it, for extra money, by prior arrangement)

- take a picture at three monuments to Einstein.

- We will visit a perfume studio where you can make your perfect perfume (for extra money, by prior arrangement).

Kindlifresserbrunnen

One of the Bernese fountains depicts an ogre devouring defenceless, half-naked children.Its Kindlifresserbrunnen. There are various theories about the significance of this fountain, the most plausible of which is that the fountain was built for an educational purpose and that the monster was meant to scare little children. The most popular theories are three. And the most truthful one is even more horrific than the scarecrow for children.

Kafigturm

Käfigturm as well as the clock tower were built at different times as Bern's fortification system. In the past Käfigturm was where criminals were interrogated and locked up! Bernese, as befits the Swiss, lovers of order, have documented and preserved in the so-called "Tower Books" information about murders, thefts and other crimes, as well as interrogations, confessions and sentences. Have you ever been to the Musée Dorcet in Paris? Perhaps the painting "The Tin Man" by the Swiss artist Hodler caught your eye. They say he was born in this tower.
