Trallala Bern
Where The Wild Wines Are
There is a simple trick about travelling: When I look for nice spots, I search for natural wines. Usually, those bars and restaurants not only have interesting wines but also great locations, interesting concepts, excellent foods, friendly staff, and an uncomplicated feel to them. In Bern, this spot is Trallala.
This Tapas-and-Wine-Bar is located in the newly built Holliger neighbourhood - a progressive set of cooperative housing projects worth having a look at before sitting down. Trallala itself has all the ingredients for a merry, vinous and culinary evening. Their wine list offers a particularly wide selection of well-researched natural wines from European wineries. I especially like that they have about a dozen bottles by the glass and that they offer you the chance to try several wines before you settle for a good drop.
Apart from great wines, Trallala also offers culinary treats. Their Tapas are excellent, and if you happen to be four people - why not order the whole menu!?
For some Trallala feeling to take home, I recommend their shop close to Eigerplatz, where you can find reasonably priced bottles.
Pro tip: Trallala is a word from a famous children's play (Kasperli). Ask a Swiss boomer about it, and he will happily sing the title theme for you. :-)

Bursting Tree Mural
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.

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!

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...

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?

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