Find train tickets →Bern Airport (BRN) or Bern Hauptbahnhof → Westside Longterm Rental, Brünnenstrasse
💡 Use the 'NOVA Taxi' app to book in advance - it's slightly cheaper than flagging one down. From the airport, ask the driver to drop you at the rear entrance on Brünnenstrasse - it's closer to the rental entrance than the main Westside complex door.
Bern Hauptbahnhof → Westside (Brünnenstrasse)
💡 Bus 160/161 runs direct to Westside. Get off at 'Brünnen Bahnhof' stop, then walk east on Brünnenstrasse - the apartment block is on the right, 2 minutes.
Bern Hauptbahnhof → Westside (Brünnen) stop
💡 Tram 8 and tram 9 both stop at 'Westside' - same walk as bus. Avoid tram 8 during rush hour (07:30–08:30) if you have luggage - it gets packed.
Bern Airport (BRN) → Bern Hauptbahnhof (main station)
💡 Buy a single ticket at the machine - it's cheaper than the taxi and drops you right in the city centre. From Hauptbahnhof, take tram 8 or 9 to 'Westside' stop, then it's a 5-minute walk.

Top Attractions in Bern

💡 Check the parliamentary calendar online before visiting. Off-season, the self-guided audio tour costs CHF 5 but includes the dome—worth it for the architecture.
💡 Visit at feeding time (usually 10am and 4pm) to see keepers interact with them. Go early to avoid crowds.
💡 Bring a picnic and sit on the benches near the terrace. The restaurant adjacent serves decent coffee, but avoid peak lunch hours when it's packed.
💡 Skip the interior tour unless you're obsessed with clock mechanisms—the free hourly show from the street is just as good. Arrive 5 minutes early for a good view.
