The head to the beautiful Budeshaus (Swiss Parliament) for a free guided tour of this grandiose, copper-domed building.

After that, it’s time to check out Bärenpark. Bern was named after a bear found in the forest, and the city still maintains a bear enclosure, located right by the river with stunning views over the Old Town.
