Travel Shot: Berne, Switzerland CheapOair Staff February 19, 2010 general One of the more picturesque cities in Europe and quite possibly the world, Switzerland’s capital of Berne can thank the formation of glaciers in the last ice age for its outstanding landscape. The city is alive with energy from the 130,000 people that call this destination home. Enjoy amazing restaurants, great cafes and of course some cheese (or chocolate) fondue when visiting.
