Driving and Parking in Bern

Bern's compact center is poorly suited to driving between sights: free spaces are scarce and central paid parking can be costly. Park once and continue on foot or by transit.

Driving and Parking in Bern

Why go

If you arrive with a car, treat it as a way to reach Bern rather than a way to tour the Old Town. The main central sights sit close enough together for a walking visit. A park-and-ride stop offers an alternative to searching for a central space and moving the car between attractions.

Useful to know

  • Choose parking or a park-and-ride before heading toward the center.
  • Leave the car parked while visiting the Old Town's closely spaced sights.
