A clock tower that once decided life and death. A palace where whispered bargains shaped modern Europe. In Bern, the secrets are as old as its cobblestones and twice as sharp.

Set your own pace with this self-guided audio tour through Bern’s Old Town and beyond. Find the stories that slip between tourist crowds and tumble from gilded clocks and silent council chambers.

Who risked it all in a midnight rebellion beneath the looming face of the Zytglogge? Which hidden room inside the Federal Palace fueled a centuries-old political scandal? And why do lions still guard the city’s most unlikely corner?

Each step carries you through twisting alleys and grand halls alive with drama and discovery. Bern’s history moves under your feet as echoes and mysteries come to life in stone and shadow.

Linger at the edge of each secret. Press play and unlock Bern’s true heart.
