Pusterum Bern

Relaxed place with Scandi vibes

"It is like home beyond home: perfectly suitable for burying yourself in a book, a good cup of tea or a relaxing evening beyond your four walls."

Looking for a «hygge» place in Bern? Look no further – Pusterum exudes coziness and Danish charm. It is like home beyond home: perfectly suitable for burying yourself in a book, a good cup of tea or a relaxing evening beyond your four walls. Because the premises are quite big, the noise level is pleasingly low, contributing to the chilled atmosphere.

I particularly enjoy the delicious cappuccino and the Kanelsnegle (sticky cinnamon buns) - especially (but not only) on a lazy afternoon on a sunny day in the seating area under the deciduous trees out front.

Another compelling argument for taking the short tram (or bike) ride from the city center to the Mattehof quarter is the multifarious activities you can attend at Pusterum: boardgame nights or pub quizzes accompanied by locally brewed beer, dancing, concerts, knitting, and the list goes on... It is definitely worth checking their homepage.

Reclaim The City

Nature is claiming back the city - a powerful image. The mural was painted by Paul Stämpfli in 1987, way before the world was discussing climate change.

Kopflos

Mind the step

"Kopflos" ('headless') at Casinoplatz in Bern is my favourite piece of art in the city's public space. I love its four fingers!

Tram Nr. 8

Go West!

Hop on "Tram Nr. 8" at the main station for a 25min ride through the post-war urban planning history of Bern. It gets interesting around Europaplatz...

Adrianos

What else?

I like Adrianos the best for its metropolitan atmosphere and the wild mix of guests - urban bohemians, chilled elderly people, bean hunting backpackers...

Chindlifresser Bern

Chindlifresser

Free drinks

"Chindlifresser" in Bern is a gruesome 500-year-old statue of a 'child-eater', but it's also one of my favorite cold-water providers in the whole city!

Zytglogge-Pissoir

One for the boys

"Zytglogge-Pissoir" in Bern is a place for gents to pee around the clock on the medieval watchtower. Where else can you pee on a 500-y.o UNESCO site?

Late Night Cocktails

Their house specialties "Black Cuban" (a rum coffee cocktail) and "Fado" (port wine and whiskey) are worth spoiling yourself for.

Trallala

Where The Wild Wines Are

I especially like that they have about a dozen bottles by the glass and that they offer you to try several wines before you settle for a good drop.
