The city of Bern has been playing a secondary role in Swiss city tourism for years. Wrongly so - as this stylish Bern guide proves. In brief English and German texts and atmospheric photographs, the authors present a personally curated selection of about 60 Bernese hot spots, including restaurants, shops, cafés and bars as well as cultural venues, architecture and outdoor spaces.

Mirko Beetschen and Stéphane Houlmann go beyond the 'usual suspects' such as Bärengraben, Zytglogge and Bundeshaus and present a colorful, diverse and cosmopolitan Berne. The booklet thus is not only an invitation for visitors and newcomers to the federal city, but also a treasure box of hidden spots and magic corners for locals.​
