Hello! I'm Raúl Andrade Solórzano, a 35-year-old Ecuadorian journalist by profession. I've lived in Bern for over two years, a city that has captivated me and which I now consider my new home. I've had the opportunity to travel to Colombia, Peru, Chile, Portugal, and Germany, which has allowed me to experience different cultures and broaden my worldview. Now, I want to share everything I've learned about this wonderful city with Spanish speakers, showing them the most authentic, peaceful, and historic side of Bern.

Tour description

Welcome to Bern, the Swiss capital with a medieval soul! On this tour, we'll walk through the city's most charming, unusual, and historic sites, while discovering secrets that many travelers miss.

We start at a lesser-known spot, Parkplatz Schützenmatt , to understand a rarely seen aspect of Bern: the harmony of safety, culture, and urban planning. From there, we'll move on to the impressive Museum of Fine Arts , pass by bohemian spots like Jardin et Cave , and cross the romantic Altenbergsteg , a pedestrian bridge with unparalleled views of the Aare.

The heart of the historic center awaits us with the Zytglogge , the city's most iconic medieval astronomical clock. From there, we'll see the imposing Swiss Federal Palace , a symbol of Swiss neutrality and democracy.

The route continues to the Dalmazibrücke bridge and then heads to the Aussichtspunkt Terrasse , where Bern opens up like a postcard. We'll pass Bear Park , the symbolic home of the Bernese bears, and end with an unforgettable view from the Rosengarten , the perfect spot for panoramic photos.
