Dählhölzli-Zoo
Dählhölzli-Zoo offers an animal-focused outing beside the Aare, away from Bern’s dense Old City streets. It suits a visit with time to spend at the zoo.
The riverside setting distinguishes Dählhölzli from the city-centre sights. Bern’s zoo opened in 1937, so it also adds a different chapter to a city visit otherwise dominated by medieval streets and monuments. Make it a deliberate stop rather than a quick detour between Old City landmarks.
What to look for
The zoo sits beside the River Aare.
Dählhölzli has been part of Bern since 1937.
Useful to know
Set aside a separate block of time for the zoo rather than treating it as a brief Old City stop.
Check the operator’s current visitor information before travelling to the riverbank.
