Laid-back Bern for high quality incentives

Centrally located in Europe, with free and sustainable travel on its famously excellent public transport with the Bern Ticket, Bern is a delight. Stroll the narrow streets of this cosmopolitan city and enjoy views of the magnificent countryside.

Dining here is a pleasure and many of its excellent restaurants offer fabulous views including the Restaurant Rosengarten, the Restaurant Casa Novo near the Aare-River and, for spectacular city views, the Gurten.

A variety of fun group activities are available for social programmes. You may wish to start with an entertaining and informative city tour to explore the medieval streets of this UNESCO World Heritage site and discover baroque buildings and other gems in the Old City. Groups can try their hand at brewing beer at the Altes Tramdepot or discover your inner barista at the Coffee Coaching Club with competitive challenges.

The Matte Brewery offers a range of workshops ideal for a welcome event and the opportunity to try the popular local Matte Gin. There are options for groups to try their hand at gin distilling, tours and tastings.
