Bern
Bern Travel Guide
Humble and down-to-earth, Bern is a city of broad medieval streets, farmers' markets, and friendly people. It is also a World Cultural Heritage city known for its sandstone arcades, fountains, and thick, sturdy towers. Though Bern is the Swiss capital, you won't find much cosmopolitan affectation here: The cuisine du marché, based on the freshest ingredients available in the local market, features fatback and sauerkraut; the annual fair fetes the humble onion; and the president of the Swiss Confederation often takes the tram to work.
