Hi all,

A friend of mine lost her passport in Bern in or around the Europapromenade park area.

Anybody got any advice? Sorry, she is panicking a bit and this subreddit has been the only idea I got besides the embassy itself. I hope this is the right subreddit to ask this.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello, my partner and I are coming from the Jungfrau region as we have a flight in Geneva.

So we are doing a quick train transfer in Bern, and thinking of storing our luggage at the station and walking around.

Any quick activities or places we should check out? Preferably not too expensive and near the station.

Thank you.

How do people meet people ? I tried to talk to a girl today and I got shut so fast , I mean I got shut before but not this fast ! Is it weird now to talk to people live ? I' just use Reddit and Whatsapp , I don't believe in dating apps and stuff ! Or do I just fade away ? ( I don't mind )

Im looking for things to do at night couse at day im working, like nightlife stuff.
Im a professional basketball player so i would like to play and meet players too

I am moving to Bern in September. I am considering buying a car, but am not sure how useful it is (I live now in Germany and it would not be useful to me rn). However I am a big skiing lover, and I was wondering: is it possible to go skiing without a car (for example to Adelboden)? Are there other reasons to owe / not owe a car?

I will work at the university in the center, so I guess I wouldnt use it every day. On the other hand, I would use it occasionally as it is faster than the train to visit my family.

Any public space in Bern showing the game ?

I think I am able to get my arse out of bed to watch the second half at least 😊

I've just realised that it wasn't very smart to ask this question in Bernese instead of English, so here we go: Does anybody know if there's going to be fireworks for the 4th of July party of the US embassy? It's the 250th anniversary and they had big fireworks in stone other years too. Is the party on Saturday or on another day and at what time are the fireworks?

The Aare seems to have a lot of water right now. We are planning on going to Aarebötle tomorrow. Is it safe/reasonable?

Thanks

D US-Botschaft het scho anderi Jahr es fetts Füürwärch gstiftete, wo's am 1. Ougschte kes het gä. Mittem astehemde 250-Jahr-Jubiläum rächni o mit so öppisem. Weiss öpper, ob d Botschaft z Bärn am Samschtig sälber fyret oder amne andere Tag? Weiss öpper viellech sogar d Zyt vomne allfällige Füürwärch?

I know this sounds like a scam but istg it is not. Im female, late 20s, native to Bern, and instead of traveling as I was planning to I am stuck at home all July because of my job and I thought well theres tourists here so if I cant come to the world, the world can come to me, no? Also, I love sharing my city but my international friends never visit because its too expensive for them.

So if you are visiting Bern this month I can take you Aare swimming safely or share some Swiss stuff or literally whatever. If you want comment or DM me where you are visiting from + when. Maybe smth works out :) I cant guarantee a reply because I still have to work most days. No romantic advances though - I am not interested.

hello all! I'm moving to Bern soon for a job and started looking for apartments to rent. I was told that it's difficult to find a place in Bern, but I keep seeing available apartments that look decent. How is that? Do people get rejected when they apply? Or is it just a good time?

I'm looking through the main websites for renting, I quite like flatfox. do you guys think thats a good one? Any other recommendations?

And, I am not sure where to rent. Lorreine seems cool and a place i would enjoy. I like to be around bars, cafes, etc. but not too hectic, or in a student-heavy area. I could also like a more outside place that has a nice scenery, calm vibes. Mattenhof maybe? Anyway I'm open to suggestions. I want to be able to cycle to uni, live on my own, and having a balcony would be a plus :)

One last question: How much would be a reasonable rent in Bern. I found places for 1800 or for 1300? Should i aim for something between these?

Sorry for the many questions. I would really appreciate your help!!!!

Was sind eure Lieblingscafés in Bern? Wo ihr euch besonders willkommen und wohl fühlt und gerne verweilt?

Kennt vielleicht jemand sogar ein tolles Café, das vegane Optionen anbietet?

I am at a loss on how to connect with them. PM are not working. Thanks!

I recently walked into a McDonald's in Bern for a scheduled Crew Member interview, but before the interview even started, I was told they couldn't hire me because I have a student B permit, as they don't handle the required migration office paperwork.

The interviewer also mentioned that students with a student B permit are generally expected to work in their field of study. However, I confirmed with the migration office that I'm allowed to work full-time during the summer break until September.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this specific to that franchise, common across McDonald's Bern, or even true for restaurants in general?

are there any good places to hang out on a sunday with AC?

Hi everyone,

I'm an international female student and I'll be starting my Master's at the University of Bern this September. I'm looking for a part-time job. I have a student B permit and I'm actively learning German, but I'm not fluent yet.

To be honest, I feel like I've applied to almost every student or temporary (Aushilfe) job I could find online (retail, supermarkets, warehouses, restaurants, cafés, events, etc.), so I thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows of something I've missed.

I'm available to work full-time throughout July and August, and from September onwards I'm looking for around a 40% workload alongside my studies.

Does anyone know of companies or places in Bern that hire students with limited German? Or if your workplace is hiring, I'd really appreciate any leads or recommendations.

Thank you so much!

Anyone starting the MSc in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine at the University of Bern this September? Would be great to connect before the semester starts!
