As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bern is famous for its twisting narrow lanes, unique sidewalk arcades, “Münster” (Minster) and well-preserved sandstone facades. However, the capital city also has another, darker side. At dusk, when night falls over the city, the witching hour begins.

During this city tour, you will visit spooky spots in the Old Town and meet up with devils, prisoners, murderesses and wandering souls. The route leads past the locations of terrible crimes. Street corners and narrow lanes are silent witnesses of sinister deeds and mysterious legends.

The 90-minute tour through “spooky Bern” expertly mixes myths and terrifying tales with historical happenings. Folklore and records from three different authors serve as the basis for the tour, which takes you through Bern’s creepiest chapter.

Whether you are a flesh-and-blood Bern native, have relocated here or are a visitor to the capital city, the “Spooky Bern” tour offers an otherworldly experience for everyone. How about setting off on the trail of a ghost as part of a corporate event or a club excursion?

The tour has an especially sinister and authentic feel as dusk falls, so we recommend choosing the right time to start your walk with the spirits. Goosebumps guaranteed!
