Our selection of Berne city breaks to Switzerland's capital offers spectacular views of the surrounding Alps and is the ideal base from which to discover the whole of Switzerland. The Swiss capital seems untouched from modern living, leaving this charming medieval city as if it had been pulled out of a fairy tale book surrounded by cobbled streets and stone arcades full of bustling shops and cafes.

This popular Swiss resort comes alive in the winter, with many Christmas stands selling a range of local delicacies and delights, second only to the Zurich Christmas Market. Berne's Old Town has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with some of Europe's finest medieval architecture.
