Switzerland 2014 (2/3): Bern

Tags

Bern was my second leg of my trip to Switzerland.
I got there by train from Zurich, making a day trip.

Svizzera 2014 (2/3): Berna

Bern is a beautiful town, very green and sunny.
The symbol of Bern is the bear, which is said to be also the origin of the name of the city, as the city's founder, Berthold V of Zähringen, apparently chose that name after meeting a bear hunt (Bar) from which then it derives the city's name in Alaman, Barn.

In my trip to Bern I saw: the clock tower Zytglogge, the Bärenpark (Bear Park), the inevitable Old Town (Altstadt), the Federal Palace Bundeshaus, Münster cathedral, and of course, the Bahnhof station.

Something very special, of which I was not aware, is that at the end of the promenade in the old town of Bern, there is a pit inside ... a real bear!

The video playlist events in Berne (only 2 video), is the same as those made in Zurich and Basel:

Berne I loved as a city, more than Zurich.
E 'small, well-made, very pleasant to explore on foot, and less hectic than large Swiss cities.

The next stop is Basel Switzerland, but beware before photos of Berne :)
