Bern Travel Forum

Hello I hope some Swiss people or other people with an good idea can help me.
Me and 4 friends (5 people) good educated and for sure no hooligens :) got tickets for the EK match between the Netherlands and Italy...

Bern is a small city and most of the hotels are already fully booked. ANd we dont want a camping or very expensive hotel.

Can anyone help me... do you know someone who has an small hotel thats not so known by the internet. Maybe a cottage or just any idea were 5 people can sleep for a long weekend...

Your help would be great :)

greets Ron

The weekend is from 7 till 10 June ( match on 9th of June) (3 nights)

I know it is 56 kms from Bern (all motorway) but would Interlaken be an option?

Veel plezier daar!

Thanks for your answer but 56 km from Bern is no option :)

Hi,

How about Thun or Biel which are both about 30min. away by train ? As far as I know the ticket includes the public service on the day of the match.

Camping in Switzerland is really pleasant and very clean. I know you said you would rather not, but depending on how booked the hotels are you may have to camp. Have you looked at hostels in Bern? I stayed at Bern Backpackers and loved it. I agree with the suggestion of looking at Thun. It's very close to Bern and it's also a very beautiful town.

Good luck!

Hi Ron

If you look at the following website there are many options including private rooms. With 5 persons you might have difficulties to stay at the same place together and I have no idea how much everthing is already booked.

But if you google: euro 08 bern unterkunft ,you will get plenty of options beside the normal hotel booking options.
There is an initiative where privat people offer beds all over Switzerland for moderate prices. Probably a good opportunity get to know a few locals too.


Good luck
