Spring in Bern
The days are getting longer, the birds are chirping, and the trees are starting to blossom – time to go outside! We’re celebrating spring and Bernese joie de vivre with different outdoor activities.
Activities
In the mood for an e-bike tour along the cycling tour 888 – Grünes Band Bern, a spring stroll to the Rosengarten to see (and smell) the roses, or an excursion to one of the capital’s most exciting playgrounds? The city and region Bern offers all kinds of activities and experiences for nature lovers.

If you spend the night in Bern, you receive a Bern Ticket. It allows you to use public transport for free in the entire city, including the Gurten funicular.
Eating and drinking
Are you tired of root vegetables? Fortunately, an increasingly diverse selection of regional products can be found at Bern’s weekly farmer’s markets now that spring has begun. If you prefer eating out, make yourself comfortable on one of the many cozy restaurant terraces in the destination Bern.

Bernese Beer Tour
Maybe it’s still a little too nippy to spend the evening outside? Then you should try out the Bernese Beer Tour: you’ll get to know and taste different beers and spend a relaxed evening moving from one iconic beer bar to the next. The tour begins at the Altes Tramdepot and continues to OnTap and Au Trappiste, a bar steeped in history, and then ends at Barbière. At every stop, experienced beer sommeliers and sommelières from Bern share fun anecdotes and key facts and figures. You’ll be more than well equipped for the next round of small talk over a few beers.

Art and Culture
This year, the Bernese spring is kicking off with a big dose of culture: The Night of the Museums on 15 March will once again see the facades of the Old City lit up and welcome visitors into 37 cultural institutions. But even when the sun rises and the Night of the Museums is over, there are still plenty more events as well as interesting and sometimes bizarre things to discover about Bern, for example on a guided tour of the city.

Shopping
Browsing for a birthday gift for your best friend in the charming little shops of Bern’s Unesco-listed Old City or visiting Bern’s farmer’s market to buy regional products such as veggies, meat or fish for a barbecue – going shopping in Bern is so much fun! And the best thing about it: thanks to the six kilometres of arcades, shoppers are protected in any weather.
