Walk Along the Aare in Bern, Switzerland

So many old European cities are centered around bodies of water and often, it is rivers. A stroll along the Aare River in Bern, Switzerland does not disappoint. At 288 kilometers, it is the longest river entirely within Switzerland. In the summer, people do jump right in and float along with the currents either by swimming or by raft, seeing Old Town right above them. Those less inclined to get wet can simply take a stroll along the river, soaking in the views.

Einstein au Jardin in Bern, Switzerland

An unassuming, tiny little spot in Bern, Einstein au Jardin offers incredible views for the price of a hot coffee or tea. My ginger lemon tea was incredibly fresh and my friend’s cappuccino was exquisitely made.
