Switzerland has always been a dream destination for travelers who crave postcard-perfect landscapes, a rich cultural heritage, and seamless public infrastructure. On a recent trip to Bern, the capital city that blends medieval charm with modern flair, I discovered not only a wealth of history and natural beauty but also a perfect place to stay — Mana Kendra in Ostermundigen.
Discovering Bern
Bern is nothing short of magical. With its UNESCO World Heritage old town, arcaded walkways, and views of the Aare River, the city is perfect for strolling, exploring, and indulging in delicious Swiss cuisine. The Zytglogge clock tower, Bern Cathedral, and the Bear Park were among the highlights of my trip.
And if you’re into museums, the Einstein Museum is a must-visit — after all, Bern is where the great physicist developed his Theory of Relativity. For nature lovers, the Gurten Mountain offers a gentle hike with panoramic views of the city and the Alps beyond.

While searching for accommodations outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Bern, I stumbled upon Mana Kendra in nearby Ostermundigen — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip.
Located just a short tram or bus ride from Bern’s center, Mana Kendra offers a peaceful escape with the convenience of city access. What truly stood out was how quiet and relaxing the area is. After a day of sightseeing, it was a joy to return to such a serene environment.
