This old factory building converted into a restaurant by Urs Messerli is an intimate choice and one of the leading restaurants of Bern. The open kitchen and accessible wine cellar add to the warm ambience of this sophisticated eatery. Light menu items include a chicken club sandwich with curried mayonnaise, tomatoes, and pickles, and a vegetable-stuffed crepe with a sweet-and-sour sauce topping. If you want a more substantial meal, we recommend you start with the seasonal green salad with melon and summer herbs, or cured Parma ham slices in a roulade with walnut oil vinaigrette. For your main course, enticing dishes include sautéed breast of corn-fed chicken with strips of cured ham and saffron-flavored risotto, and filet of Angus beef in a red-wine sauce along with strips of Mediterranean polenta.
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.

Advantages: Beautiful Historical City with all facilities and amenities Disadvantages: The PRICES in the shops. Autobahn access can resemble "death race 2000".
...Bern is the capital of Switzerland, surprisingly few people know that.
It is also a stunningly beautiful, and relatively quiet, city.
The centre of Bern is in a small valley, the old city is built on an even smaller hill, the result is that the sprawling suburbs might as well not exist.
The style of the city is Italianate, tall houses of golden sandstone built in high terraces.
Most of the shops are tiny and set back behind the vaulted arcades at ground level. Bern is the perfect city to explore on a rainy day.
There is much to explore.
The earliest parts of the present city date back to the 17th century, but the cellars are much older still. Bern was built on an earlier city. Some of the excavations are preserved in the modern Banhof.
My impressions of Bern are heavily laced with the scent of geraniums, which are in every window...

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.
Contrary to the perceived...
