Rooms to avoid

Get a travel card →Swiss Franc, CHF
Use ATMs for best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or train station—they mark up the rate by 3–5%.
Visa/Mastercard contactless is accepted almost everywhere; Amex is rare. Mobile pay (Apple Pay/Google Pay) works in most shops and restaurants.
Not expected—service is included. Round up the bill or leave 5–10% for exceptional service in restaurants; taxi drivers and hotel staff do not expect tips.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →Filter coffee from a supermarket bakery (Migros/Coop) costs around 4 CHF; a cappuccino at a budget café is about 5 CHF.
A takeaway sandwich or salad from a Migros/Coop counter or a bakery (like Bäckerei Knuchel) costs 10–15 CHF.
A main course at a mid-range eatery starts around 20–25 CHF; a kebab or pizza from a takeaway is 12–18 CHF.
None specifically—Bern has few dedicated street-food zones. The Munzmarkt (weekly market on Bundesplatz) offers budget sausages and cheese for 6–10 CHF on Tuesday mornings.
Migros and Coop are the main budget supermarkets in the 3011 area; Aldi and Lidl are less common but slightly cheaper.
H&M, Zara, and similar high-street chains at the Loeb arcade and the Rathausgasse area; secondhand shops like Brocki (near Bärenplatz) offer good deals.
A day pass for zones 100/101 (city centre) costs 8.40 CHF; from Bern airport, take bus line 40 into the centre (2.60 CHF single).
Buy a Migros/Coop day pass for unlimited city travel; fill a reusable water bottle at any public fountain (water is safe); skip the tourist shops around the Zytglogge—prices are inflated.

Principali attrazioni a Bern
💡 Skip the tower if you're after views—the Rosengarten is free and better. Instead, sit in the cloister garden for peace. The small museum adjacent is free with donation requested.
💡 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.
