We have a lot of travel information for
Switzerland. Here are links to the highlights.
Bern
in a day. Normally we don't rush through and try to se a
city o region or whatever in one day. Bt in 2006 circumstances took us
to Bern for one day and we made the best of it with advanced recommendations
from our Swiss friend. Here is what we found interesting and easy to
see in 24 hours in Bern: Stair climb
to the top of the church tower (rewarded with a great view of the
town and distant mountains, ***); the Einstein house (where
work on the theory of relativity got started); strolling (or jogging) on the pathways along the River Aare (note that you can make a circular trip
by taking a path on one side of the river, crossing at one of many
pedestrian bridges, and returning on the other side); and beer drinking (at
some bar near the grand cuckoo "Clocke" after you witness the hourly clock show with hordes of other tourists). Things we
missed because there was too little time: the famous "bear pit," the
noon-hour town walk-swim event (where town folks walk/run up the Aare, swim
or float back to the start), and a couple of beer halls. Enough
reason to plan a return at some future date.
