Advantages: Good value, compact,safe and lots of places of interest Disadvantages: Might not suit someone wanting exciting night-life
...Bern must be one of the best kept secrets in Europe when it comes to selecting a destination for a city break.
Transferring from Zurich Airport was simplicity itself, as the airport station has a direct,express service to Bern which takes about 75 mins.Even with an 8 month old baby and buggy, the journey was stress-free, as our luggage was delivered directly to our hotel from the airport and vice-versa on the return journey.
Our package on a 6 night stay with Kuoni was tremendous value, considering we were staying in one of the city's 5 Star Hotels, The Schweizerhoff, which is within easy walking distance of Bern's subterranean railway station.
Bern is clean, safe and easy to get around. If you buy a travel pass, this covers transport on bus, tram , train and even steamer, if you wish to travel further afield.

Advantages: it's peaceful Disadvantages: some people think it's not exciting enough (nightlife etc.)
...I'm working in Bern for more than one year now. I'm Swiss, but it's not my home town.
It's a really nice town I must say. Not only for tourists. People living in Bern are considered to be a bit slow. Compared with people in "Business-Zurich" this is defenitely true. Bern is the capital of Switzerland and a town with many officers, working for government organisations, for Swiss Railways, for Swiss Post (I confess, I am one of them) etc.
The Old City of Bern is part of the "Unesco World Heritage". It is situated on a hill and surrounded by the Aare river.
You can get to many places of interest from Bern, in a short time:
To the Alps, lakes, other big cities, airports.
