So i took the 8-ish train to Bern and arrived at 9+. Singed up for walking tour that starts at 11 and had a really great time at this Unesco Heritage town! the medieval town looks so gorgueous and I highly rec taking a trip here for anyone, but at 90CHF for train tix from Zurich return, it can burst anyone's budget too...haha...
This is the famed astronomical clock from 1500s in Bern. Many try to catch the hourly show at 11 - 1 pm, and I caught it too, so nice!
This is the old town, with Sandstones buildings to prevent the buildings from catching Fire (2/3 were wiped out in 1400's with huge fire)
Fountains like this are everywhere in Bern and they all have a very interesting figurine atop!
This is the famed Last Judgement on the exterior on the church in Bern. When the Protestants came, they took away and tore down all ststues inside the churches except this outside. Luckily they spared it!
interior of the church where Protestants cleared all statues, the sunflowers are there cos' there's gonna be a funeral later in the day.
Since Switzerland was not involved in WW2, the churches had managed to retain the beautiful Stained Glass.
Einstein Haus; yes, he did stayed in Bern, in fact the Bern History Museum is having a special exhibit abput him!
