With the opening of the summer air route Nice – Bern, set off for a weekend to discover the capital of Switzerland. No other city can boast of having so well preserved its historical character, a city or rather a beautiful medieval village where life is good!
Less than an hour by plane from Nice, one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage, awaits you.
Like no other city in Switzerland, Bern combines cultural richness, leisure, and quality of life. The words “haste” and “hustle” are not part of its vocabulary. In this city, one savors life and focuses on the essentials. A conversation under the arcades, a coffee with friends: Bernese people always have time for that.
The magic formula for this unique lifestyle is called “deceleration.” The Bernese are not easily disturbed and live their lives at their own pace. The unique setting of the old town lends itself wonderfully to relaxation and idleness. Every nook and cranny of the city invites you to stop, observe, and be inspired by its historical treasures. Its magnificent Renaissance fountains, its astronomical calendar clock, its historic sandstone buildings, its Gothic cathedral, its Bear Pit, and the beautiful panorama of the Rose Garden (Rosengarten) over the old town are just a few of its many attractions.
The Bernese are reputed to be modest. The truth is, they are extremely proud of their city, whose old center, embraced by the lazy waters of the Aare, is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A stroll in the shadow of its six kilometers of medieval arcades, the “Lauben,” and you’ll agree that the Bernese are right and that their city is truly unique!
