Driving in Bern

1. Traffic and Parking: The historic old town is mostly car-free, so driving in this area can be limited. There are several parking garages around the periphery of the old town where you can leave your car.

2. Rules: Ensure that you're familiar with local driving regulations. You'll need a motorway vignette (a sticker) to drive on Swiss motorways. They are available at border crossings, post offices, and petrol stations.
