Full review

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.
