I’ve traveled to countless countries and explored countless landscapes as a tourist, but my recent trip to Bern in Switzerland brought a special kind of excitement. A destination I stumbled upon by pure chance, Bern turned out to be a place filled with stunning architecture, lush green hills, and hidden cultural gems.
Before I arrived, I connected with a local through Luxelive.net, who graciously offered to show me around the region. With a luxury car rented just for the occasion, we spent an entire month driving through the Swiss countryside, discovering picturesque villages, majestic mountains, and charming city streets. During our journey, I captured endless photos and videos for my blog on Luxelive.net, a platform that also allows me to earn while sharing my travel experiences.
Highlights of My Swiss Adventure in Bern
- Old Town of Bern
- With its cobblestone streets, medieval clock tower, and views of the Aare River, the Old Town feels like stepping back in time. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, and every corner offers a new scene perfect for a photo or quiet reflection.
- Gurten Mountain
- Just a short ride from the city, Gurten Mountain provides panoramic views of Bern’s skyline. We hiked up one morning and were rewarded with an incredible sunrise over the Alps. It was a photographer’s dream come true.
- Rosengarten (Rose Garden)
- Overlooking the Old Town, Rosengarten is filled with beautiful roses and serves as an oasis of calm with one of the best views of Bern. It’s an ideal spot to relax with a camera in hand, capturing both nature and the city below.
- Emmental Valley
- Known for its rolling hills and cheese-making heritage, Emmental Valley was a highlight of the trip. We visited a traditional cheese farm, learned about the history, and even got to taste some authentic Swiss cheese.
- Bern’s Museum of Fine Arts
- The museum is home to works by Swiss and international artists. Walking through its galleries felt like a journey through Swiss history and culture, providing a deep appreciation for Bern’s place in the art world.
