Hey! Are you ready for an excursion to the captivating Swiss capital, Bern – the heart of Swiss politics and home to the Bundeshaus (Federal Palace) – where you can also swim in the picturesque Aare River?

And do you happen to be curious about Lauterbrunnen, the famous valley of waterfalls that is home to the highest waterfall in Switzerland?

In Bern, we’ll have city tours both before and after our guided visit to the Bundeshaus, the Swiss federal parliament building. During our time in the city, we’ll explore many highlights, including:

• Bärenpark, where you can see Bern’s famous animal residents – the bears!
• Rosengarten, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of Bern’s UNESCO-listed Old Town.
• The historic city center, where we’ll stroll under the arcades – a great way to stay cool in the summer sun – and discover landmarks like the iconic Zytglogge (clock tower), Einstein’s House, and the impressive Berner Münster, Switzerland’s largest late-Gothic church.

And to top off the day: in the evening, you’ll have the option to enjoy a refreshing swim in the scenic Aare River – a favorite summer activity for locals and visitors alike!
