Nature Walk in Bern

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Bern's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Bern is the Swiss capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city, with a beautifully preserved medieval old town on a peninsula loop of the Aare River, six kilometers of covered arcades, and Einstein's former apartment.
