A group stands chatting on a historic street in Bern, in the golden light of dusk. Their relaxed faces and animated conversation reflect a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The group is standing near the Heiliggeistkirche church in Bern, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city and passing trams. The city guide, recognisable by his shoulder bag with the word "BERN" on it, gesticulates and explains enthusiastically while the participants listen attentively.
The picture shows a group of people enjoying a city tour in Bern. The atmosphere is relaxed and curious as the participants look around with interest and the guide seems to be explaining something. It is a cloudy day, but the atmosphere is open-minded and friendly.

Anyone who has lived in Bern for a long time knows the city like the back of their hand. And yet there are definitely secrets that even the locals don't know yet! Not everything in Bern's Old Town is as it seems at first glance. On this guided tour, our city guides take a closer look at these places, away from the well-known landmarks of Bern. This entertaining tour provides exciting background knowledge for Bernese "locals" and anyone who wants to become one.

The tour leads through well-known streets as well as along hidden alleyways and to hidden places: The tour between Bärenplatz, "Ehgraben" (a moat between the houses) and Postgasse makes the unknown suddenly visible in the familiar nooks and crannies of the Lower Old Town. Participants take a close look at unusual facades along the way, gain insights into hidden courtyards, discover optical illusions and find out what the different coloured street signs are all about. Amazement is pre-programmed here!
