Hi,
I’m planning a day trip to Bern during my travel to Switzerland, and based on my itinerary I’m only able to travel to Bern on a Sunday (End of May).
I’ve read a lot that Sunday most places are closed, and wanted to get opinion of the folks who have travelled there before to see if it’s still worth it to go. Below are few of things I would like to do .
Walk around the Old Town.
Head over to the federal capital/parliament building.
Einsteinhaus -Einstein Museum
Bear Pit
Bern Minster
Zytglogge clock tower from 12th century
Will restaurants and shops be open in Old town? And is there anything else you would recommend me to do?
Thank you!
