The old town of Bern is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and because of its 6 kilometres of arcades -the locals allude to them as Lauben -gloats in the interest of longest climate protected shopping promenades in Europe.
The medieval quality of this city with its numerous wellsprings, sandstone veneers, slender boulevards and notable towers is novel. The raised Rose Garden above the Bear Park and the stage of the 101-metre-high church building tower offer the best perspectives of the old town adjust which the River Aare streams. The previous entrenchments and bastions drop down steeply to the stream. The boutiques, bars and men's club phases of the old town, some of which are placed in vaulted basements, and the little road spots lure locals and in addition a considerable measure of sightseers. In spite of the fact that Bern has an extremely great open transport system it is best to investigate the downtown area by walking.
