The world-famous physicist shares a past with the city of Bern, and by no means an insignificant one. He moved to Bern in 1902 when he took up a position at what is today known as the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property. At the same time, he was working on the formula for his theory of relativity.

Would you like to know where Einstein lived and likely partied as a young bachelor? And where he most enjoyed spending time with his wife Mileva? We will show you Einstein’s favourite places on this guided tour and answer your questions along the way.
