Discover Switzerland’s charming capital on a private full-day trip from Zurich to Bern, designed entirely around your interests. Travel in comfort in a modern VW Transporter van, and enjoy a scenic drive through the Swiss countryside, passing rolling hills, pristine lakes, and picturesque villages before arriving in the heart of Bern – a UNESCO World Heritage city.
Take a personalised walking tour through Bern’s beautifully preserved Old Town. Stroll along the cobblestone streets lined with medieval arcades, admire the colourful fountains, and marvel at the intricate astronomical clock of the Zytglogge tower.
Visit the Bear Park (Bärengraben), where Bern’s famous animal residents live in a spacious riverside enclosure. Then enjoy the peaceful Rose Garden (Rosengarten), offering panoramic views over the Old Town’s red rooftops and the meandering Aare River.
See the Bern Cathedral (Münster), Switzerland’s tallest church tower with stunning Gothic details. Admire the Federal Palace (Bundeshaus), the seat of Switzerland’s government. Cross the charming Nydegg Bridge and the riverfront.
Have time to explore Bern at your own pace: browse boutiques, sample Swiss chocolate, or relax in one of the many cafés. For lunch, your guide can recommend traditional Swiss restaurants serving regional specialities like rösti or cheese fondue.
As this is a private tour, the pace and programme are fully flexible. Whether you want more time for photos, a deeper dive into Bern’s history, or even a short stop in a nearby village, your guide will tailor the day to you. In the late afternoon, drive back to Zurich in comfort, with plenty of memories and photos of Switzerland’s captivating capital.
