Guided Tour “Bern for the Bernese”

During the "Bern for Bernese" tour, the guides will surprise even the old inhabitants of Bern by teaching them new things. After all, just because you pass through the city's arcades every day doesn't mean you know all the secrets of the federal capital.

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!

The tour is a special experience for everyone, whether you’re a long-time resident or a Bernese by choice, and is individually tailored to the group’s previous knowledge. We recommend booking the city tour in advance due to the limited number of participants.
