Why go
This is a useful Bern day when you want substantial indoor visits and a clear choice about how long to stay. Start at the Kunstmuseum for art, then make the longer walk to the Bern History Museum to put the city and region in context. The Museum of Communication changes the pace with interactive displays nearby. If you still have energy, the Natural History Museum is only a short continuation through the museum quarter; otherwise, end after three full visits. The route allows real time inside each museum rather than treating their entrances as quick photo stops. Check individual museums' visiting information before setting out.
