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.

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...

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?

La Chouette – Crèpe-a-porter
"La Chouette" Bern is a small, cozy, woody restaurant that makes the best crepes around! Make sure to try both sweet & salty! Open until late on weekends.

About me
Born and deeply rooted in the picturesque city of Bern, equipped with an insatiable curiosity for culture and culinary delights. Always searching for urban stories and tales - once as a history student, later as a journalist an now as a political advisor.
Why Bern - Bern is known as the slowest city in the world, the music capital of Switzerland, it has the best urban swimming river I know, a giant anarchist culture temple in the middle of the city and – yes – it's a UNESCO World Heritage site. I find that quite impressive for a town of 140,000 people…
