🇨🇭 Bern: Switzerland’s Underrated Capital

I hadn’t planned to visit Bern (too "low-key," right?)—but after finishing Jungfraujoch by noon, I couldn’t just nap in Interlaken! A 40-minute train ride later (via Spiez), and boom—best spontaneous decision ever! Bern blew me away—it’s like a compact, polished Munich with extra charm! ✨ 🚂 Quick & Scenic Journey Route: Interlaken West → Spiez → Bern 📍 Must-Do Route (Walkable in Half a Day!) 1️⃣ Kunstmuseum Bern 🎨 Home to Picasso + Klee (and a killer gift shop!). 2️⃣ Bundesplatz 🇨🇭 The political heartbeat of Switzerland (bonus: summer fountain pools!). 3️⃣ Federal Palace 🏛️ Peek inside if parliament’s in session! 4️⃣ Zytglogge (Clock Tower) ⏰ The mechanical marvel that inspired Einstein! 5️⃣ Einsteinhaus 🧠 Stand where E=mc² was born (tiny apartment, giant legacy). 6️⃣ Bern Cathedral (Münster) ⛪ Climb the tower for 360° city views! 7️⃣ Rosengarten 🌹🌄 (DON’T SKIP!) The ultimate viewpoint—stay for sunset if you can! 💡 Why Bern Wins ✔ Less touristy than Zurich/Geneva ✔ Fairytale old town (UNESCO-listed arcades!) ✔ Compact but mighty—culture + scenery on steroids #Bern #Switzerland #HiddenGems #TravelSpontaneously
