Easy to fall in love with at first glance, Switzerland's tree-encircled capital city sits perched above the stunning greenish blue Aare River, curling through not so much an urban setting as a slice of fairytale lanes dotted with colorful fountains depicting historical or legendary figures. Doubtless, there is plenty for the visitor to explore.

Bern is Good City for Relaxing Strolls

Certainly not for late-night club hoppers or even those travelers on a quest for Europe's attention getting monuments and museums, Bern is a hidden gem for those who appreciate a relaxing wander, a stroll through modest museums, and for those want to step away from it all. Bern is not as in-your-face touristy as Paris, Rome, or London may be, but that's wherein its charm lies.

Unlike many other cities, the rain won't stop visitors from taking a promenade al fresco. The ubiquitous archways that line the streets provide cover. It's nearly possible to walk from one end of the city to the other without getting more than a few drops wet.
