FAQ: Kjøre i Bern
Can I drive in Bern's Old Town?
Access is very limited. The UNESCO-listed Old Town has narrow medieval streets, low arcades, and many pedestrian zones. Park outside and explore on foot - it's the only practical way.
Is it worth renting a car in Bern?
For the city itself, no - trams and buses cover everywhere you need to go. A car is useful for day trips to the Bernese Oberland (Interlaken, Grindelwald, Jungfrau region).
Why do I need to turn my wheels when parking?
Swiss law requires you to turn your wheels toward the curb when parking on a slope. This prevents runaway vehicles. Failure to do so can result in a fine.
How expensive is parking in Bern?
Street parking is CHF 2-3/hour. Garages cost CHF 25-45/day. The best value is P+R at Neufeld or Wankdorf, which connect directly to the tram network.
