Bern Audio Tour: Trains, Baths, and Hidden Federal Tales
At sunrise, Bern’s old city glows like a secret and the clang of iron once meant more than just daily work. Few realize how power quietly shifted behind the thick walls of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security or how the steep rails of the Marzili Funicular once divided rich and poor. This self-guided audio tour unlocks corners and clues most visitors never see. Listen closely to stories that pulse beneath the cobbles—from political intrigue to avant-garde transformation. What illicit plan brought national tension to the riverbanks just below the parliament? Why does the Dampfzentrale still rattle with the echoes of rebellion? What remarkable loophole allowed smugglers to hide in plain sight right at Bern’s borders? Move through the city’s living canvas as power, art, scandal, and invention swirl around you. Old stories crack open and Bern’s heartbeat grows louder with every step. Plug in now and discover what Bern hides in plain sight.
