Gems of the lower Old City
In the upper part of Bern’s Old City, you’ll find stores from international chains such as Zara, Mango or The Body Shop. The real fun, however, begins when you pass the Zytglogge (Clock Tower) and head into the lower part, where you’ll find countless boutiques and studios with local designs, culinary treats and other gems that can’t be found in any other Swiss city. If you’re looking for something original, unique, and maybe even a bit peculiar, you’re sure to find it here. Many of these shops can only be found in Bern, for example Bernese perfume maker Brigitte Witschi’s atelier “Art of Scent”, where visitors can choose from 34 different essences to put together their very own, personalized scent.
