Bern, known as UNESCO world heritage

by anees - last update: Aug 4, 2004

River in Bern

so wonderful old town since 1405

Bern (baren in German means bear)
First I did want to visit this town, I did not feel good about it, but wait, I spent 3 nights in it and I love to spend more night again.
You won’t spend long in Bern without hearing or reading the name UNESCO. Switzerland’s capital is so proud of its medieval town center it wants everybody to know that the UN educational, scientific and cultural organization has declared this world heritage site. I enjoyed visiting Muster Cathedral, looking at the clock tower and listening to its music every hour. The out door swimming pools by Aare river.
I enjoyed the fine art gallery, and I love the book stores in the downtown, and the hotel located in the mid of that heritage, so u won’t need a lot of walking to be in the mid of the best place to see in the town. The town is very proud of its train station, which the newest and the most well organized station in Europe.

interlaken, berner oberland, sports for fun

The loveliest town and I enjoyed its extreme sports like bike riding with different. national and regional routs, paragliding with parachute, rafting for 15 km in the river with nice people, just about every adventure sport known to humankind is offered from Interlaken although the activities themselves take place in the greater jungfrau region.

Its standing in Interlaken’s large central park, gazing at the Jungfrau massif in the distance, it’s possible to sense the romance of place that attracted early package tourists in the 19th century.
Don’t miss to buy the most famous Swiss’s watches from this town, its offering a good range of them.

paragliding in interlaken

it was my first experience jumping from the mountain with parachute, the flying up there, looking at the town from above, for about 15 minute was very new experience for me, sure i was not alone, one of the pilots taking care of the parachute.
