Crónicas de Bern
Bern, the capital of Switzerland, was founded in 1191 by Duke Berthold V of Zähringen, and its medieval Old Town (Altstadt) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city's unique blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture is reflected in its narrow, winding streets and picturesque fountains. Bern's rich history has left an indelible mark on its cultural identity, with a strong emphasis on tradition and craftsmanship. The city's iconic Zytglogge clock tower, built in the 13th century, is a testament to its rich heritage. Today, Bern is a thriving city, known for its vibrant arts scene, excellent museums, and world-class restaurants.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Waldhorn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above floor 3) to minimize potential street noise from the busy Waldhöheweg. Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-2) as they may be more prone to noise from the street. If you're a light sleeper, consider requesting a room with an even number, as rooms on odd-numbered floors may be closer to the lift shaft, which could be a noise disturbance.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the lift shaft on odd-numbered floors (1, 3, 5) may be noisier due to the lift's operation. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or adjacent to the Waldhöheweg may be more prone to external noise.
Best views
Given the hotel's address, rooms on floors 4-6 with an east or west orientation may offer a view of the surrounding cityscape or the nearby Bernese Alps.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 are likely to be the quietest, as they are higher up and away from the street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Waldhöheweg is a relatively busy street, and rooms on lower floors may be more susceptible to noise from passing traffic. Be mindful of potential noise from the lift, especially if you're a light sleeper.
Insider tips
If you're driving, consider parking in the nearby public parking garage, as on-street parking options may be limited and subject to time restrictions. When checking in, be sure to request a room with a quiet location, and don't hesitate to ask the staff for assistance with any noise-related concerns.

Principais atrações em 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.
