Bern, Switzerland

Nightlife Tour in Bern

Bern transforms after dark. The neighborhoods that feel familiar by day take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover the nightlife is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do.

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.
