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

      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).

      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.

    • @chgabbel
      @chgabbel 3 роки тому

      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 ;-(.

    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. ❤️

    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... 😄

    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!

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

      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
