One-day walking tour in Bern, the capital of Switzerland

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Visit Bern, the capital of Switzerland. This fourth largest city surrounded by the Aare River has an atmosphere of blending humanity and nature, especially the old town area where attractions are concentrated. Strolling along the Aare River, there are not only attractions but also shopping malls. It is quite fun to visit and you can arrange a one-day leisure trip. #Aare The old town of Bern is surrounded by the Aare River on three sides. Walking along the shopping street towards the Bear Park, you will definitely pass by an arch bridge. From the bridge, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Aare River, which is the best place to take beautiful photos. #ClockTower The oldest mechanical clock in Switzerland has a history of more than 800 years since the city was built in the 13th century. It has been used as a city gate guard tower, prison and clock tower. When it strikes the hour, a golden knight ringing the bell, a man turning the hourglass, and a golden rooster will run out, which is quite interesting. #Bern Cathedral Built in the 15th century, the Bern Cathedral is a Gothic-style building with a 100-meter-high spire that is quite prominent and eye-catching. Climbing to the top of the tower, you can overlook the entire view of Bern. The main entrance of the church is decorated with a sculpture of the Last Judgment, which is an outstanding representative of Gothic sculpture art. #FoodKidsFountain There are many colorful fountains in the streets of Bern's old town. Each fountain has a different statue, and the colors are quite bright and eye-catching. The more famous ones include the Fountain of the Eating Boy that tells the myth, the Fountain of the Bear Knight that represents Bern, and the Fountain of the Goddess of Justice that represents justice. #Arcade Shopping Street The 7-kilometer-long arcade shopping street located in front of and behind the clock tower is the main shopping area in Bern. It is full of European boutiques, Swiss watches, and century-old chocolate shops, which are quite fun to visit. What’s special is that the arcades have existed since the Middle Ages and are now listed as a World Cultural Heritage. #SwissTravel #Bern
