As you dine at this very Swiss restaurant, you can relish both the cuisine and the atmosphere. Overhead is the old planking and stonework of a 13th-century building, and you're surrounded by the endless bustle of a workaday restaurant. Serving wholesome and good-tasting food in ample portions, the restaurant is on the street level of a budget-priced hotel of the same name.
Advantages: lovely historic city Disadvantages: may be limiting if you want a big city scene
...Earlier this year, we were searching for somewhere new to go for our annual 2 week holiday. In previous years we have mostly stayed in Dorset (UK) and France, and I have travelled a lot elsewhere in Europe. My son goes to football practice every Saturday and one of the other Dads suggested Switzerland.
Immediately I could think of many reasons not to go there - its too upmarket, too expensive and surely its not going to be as hot as say the Mediterranean or the Costas?

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.
