If you're coming from old town or the bear park, be aware that the walk here is all uphill and a little steep... I think most come for the awesome view and Einstein bench. Then most either way at the restaurant or lounge about until they make the trek back down the hill...

Beautiful park, terrific view of the city - but no Roses on our visit…read more My wife and I were recently on a tour of Austria and Switzerland and got a tour of Old Town Bern. Hector was our local guide and he took us to the Rose Garden. The view from there of the city was quite incredible. Such beauty of the mountains in the distance made this stop worth our while. When we went, the tulips were in bloom, but not the roses. Hector told us it was too early in the year for them. Be sure to go when more of the flowers are in bloom to fully appreciate the Rosegarten high above Bern.

Small but very nice park located on the running/biking path…read more Children's playground with slide, climbing area, etc. Fountain with drinking water, trees, lawn, sculpture - relaxing spot!

Agreed that it is small, but the river front is more than enough to make up for it. A nice place…read morethat matches the level of quiet with the other parks in the city.

This is an awesome museum if you're really interested in the Olympics or if you're a child. I…read morereally enjoyed it, but I wouldn't recommend it to the average adult. The exhibits were well put together, and there was a lot of interesting information to read with fun games for children. I loved the temporary exhibit (free to the public) about running and the focus on Paris 2024. Admission was more expensive than I would have liked, even with the student discount for 14 CHF. The Olympic park outside is nice to walk around.

It's been a long time since I came through here. I created a listing to review the Olympic Games…read morebut it got merged with the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. I've actually been to this museum, funnily enough (in 2005, I believe it was, but I could be off), so I decided to post the review anyway. The Olympic Museum in Switzerland is worth a visit if you are obsessed with the Olympics but we're really not. We like the World Cup a lot. So I won't be taking Barbie back here with me most likely. It's still a pretty cool Museum and it's been a long time since I was here but it looks from the pictures like it's changed, so I'll have to consider maybe giving it another visit when I come back to Switzerland maybe next year maybe no go.

Watching the astronomical clock's mechanical figures put on their little show every hour is surprisingly mesmerizing--it's like stepping back in time. We didn't have time and energy for the guided tour. The surrounding streets are charming, filled with cafés and little shops perfect for exploring afterward. Even if you're just strolling by, catching the hourly chime and clock performance is free and worth it.
