Sightseeing

Tallest church in switzerland. Amazing view from the two platforms (requires climbing a series of stairs and there is a small entry fee to be paid in the church), including close up views of the church-bells (check schedules what time they ring the bells if you wanna experience that close up). The interior with the chappel is also worth a visit.

A small and well hidden gem in the Bern Bar scene, especially a tip for anyone who enjoys whisky and straightforward, classic drinks. Downstairs you will find some more seating options, but the bar gets crowded quick - a good option to have your drink at the bar or standing with others to get to know new people.
