« Bern, and Switzerland in general, is better to avoid in early spring... The winter fairy tale is gone, and the vibrant greenery isn't there yet. But it’ll give you a reason to come back. »
« The capital of Switzerland is Bern (even though I liked this city the least among all we visited). In German, it means bear! One version is that the city is named after the first animal killed during a hunt by some duke. As a result, bears are depicted on the coat of arms and on all the fountains, gates, etc. 🐻 »
« We finally visited the capital today. I always thought that places with cobblestone streets, especially old ones in the tourist part of the city, were only for pedestrians. But Bern broke all my stereotypes about this. In the photo, we're standing on the road, but we didn’t know it at the time :) Overall, it’s a beautiful city, reminded me of Prague. »
« Bern was lovely. The streets are full of charm, and I can imagine moving here in about 20 years, but for now, the city feels a bit too quiet for me. 😊 »
« Bern is the capital of Switzerland, and I really enjoyed my time here! »
« So, Bern! The capital of Switzerland! An incredibly cozy and charming city! Absolutely loved it!!!! »
