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).

N/A
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.
