Car Rental in Bern

Rent a car in Bern, the 5th largest city in Switzerland, with a population of roughly 128,000 people. Bern is located 20 kilometres north of the Alps in central western Switzerland. The city was founded on a hilly peninsula, surrounded by the River Aare, because of the river there are numerous scenic bridges that can be found in Bern.

The city centre has retained much of its medieval look, the centerpiece of which is the Zytglogge, an ancient clock tower built 800 years ago, and is one of Bern's main tourist attractions because it is so well preserved despite its age. The clock tower was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and a one hour guided tour is available. Make sure you are able to do and see everything that you can during your holiday in Bern, Switzerland. Auto Europe offers Bern rental car pick up locations and a large car hire fleet for you to choose from.

Travelling in Bern with a Car Rental

Take the day to go shopping in Bern. A short drive down to Old Town will bring you to the 6 kilometre long covered shopping promenade, which is one of the longest shopping arcades in all of Europe. Vendors line both sides of the street, and along the way there is music, and a fun, lively atmosphere.

After spending the morning shopping, be sure to head over to see the Münster, an incredible 15th century Gothic Cathedral. At 100 metres, the cathedral has the tallest spire in Switzerland, which wasn't completed until 1893. The incredibly ornate architectural style of the building is truly amazing, so make sure you don't miss a chance to see the Münster.
