Gurten
At 864m (2,835ft) above sea level, Gurten isn't really much of a mountain by Swiss standards. But it works a treat as Bern's own mountain playground. It offers a wide range of entertainment and cultural activities, concerts and games. The park is a great local recreation space with plenty of children's activities, a miniature railway and an observation tower.

Kunstmuseum Bern (Museum of Fine Arts)
Bern's Museum of Fine Arts has one of the finest collections in Switzerland. They span eight centuries and consist of 3,000 paintings and sculptures in addition to more than 55,000 drawings, prints, photos and films. The collection of modern art from the 19th and 20th centuries (Impressionism, Cubism, Expressionism, Blauer Reiter, Surrealism) is particularly impressive, but works from the Italian Trecento and Swiss art from the 15th century and onwards are also of interest.
