This summer, enjoy a refined family city break at Bellevue Palace Bern, perfectly located to explore the best of Switzerland’s capital.

Step outside and discover Bern’s highlights: the dancing fountains on Bundesplatz, the historic Federal Palace, and the charming Old Town. Meet the city’s famous bears at BearPark, take in panoramic views from Rosengarten, or cool off with a swim and relaxed afternoon at Marzili by the River Aare.

Families can also explore hands-on experiences at the Museum of Communication or head up Gurten Mountain for playgrounds, open nature and sweeping views over the city.

Just beyond Bern, unforgettable day trips await. In Emmental, explore rolling hills, traditional farmhouses, and Switzerland’s cheese heritage. At Ballenberg Open-Air Museum, discover historic Swiss life through authentic homes and workshops. For panoramic alpine views, visit Niesen, the “Swiss Pyramid,” reached by funicular. Nearby, Lakes Thun and Brienz and the region of Interlaken offer easy access to nature and adventure.

After a day of discovery, return to Bellevue Palace for elegant comfort, family-friendly dining, and a calm retreat in the heart of Bern.
