Regional Travel by S-Bahn

Bern's S-Bahn is the useful rail network for journeys beyond the center, including suburbs and nearby cities such as Biel, Thun, Fribourg and Solothurn.

Why go

Use the regional S-Bahn when your day extends beyond Bern's walkable center. The older rail guidance names Biel, Thun, Fribourg and Solothurn as examples of places on the wider network. For an intercity arrival from Geneva, Basel or Zürich, start with the separate mainline train guidance instead.

Useful to know

  • Check the current S-Bahn timetable and destination before setting out for a suburb or nearby city.
  • For a central Bern visit, walk between Old Town sights; use regional rail for the longer outward leg.
