Why this trip
Between the Federal Palace and the Bear Pit, Bern offers an everyday life that is relaxed for children: cars are rare, arcades protect from rain, and in summer half the city swims in the turquoise water of the Aare. From June to September the old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, can be explored comfortably on foot. The Rose Garden above the old town has a playground and a meadow with a view, where families picnic. In the Dählhölzli, the zoo, children get to know native and exotic animals, and the way there leads along the Aare.
The Zytglogge tower draws crowds on the hour with its figure display, which fascinates children if they stand there early enough. In the Historical Museum you can discover Einstein's world, suitable for school-age children. If you want to swim, let yourself drift with the current, but children should be good swimmers and parents should stay with them at all times. Interlaken, Gstaad, Grindelwald and Lucerne are quickly reached from Bern by train.
Tap water is drinkable throughout Switzerland, including at the fountains of the old town. The short distances suit families who do not want to pack every day.
