Old town

🏛 1. UNESCO World Heritage Old Town

Bern’s Altstadt (Old Town) is one of the best-preserved medieval city centers in Europe.

Built on a scenic peninsula of the Aare River, it features:

Long arcaded streets (6 km of covered arcades — perfect in any weather ☔🌞)

Sandstone buildings, red roofs, and charming fountains

Clock Tower (Zytglogge) – a 13th-century astronomical clock that chimes with moving figures 🕰✨

Historic cellars converted into cafés, shops, and wine bars 🍷

👉 Walking through Bern’s old town feels like stepping back in time — but with a vibrant modern vibe.
