Bahnhof Parking AG - Parkterrasse 14 Parkplatz Klösterlistutz - Klösterlistutz 18/20 If you’re not using an underground car park, make sure you understand the color-coded parking system. Yellow lines: reserved strictly for residents—no public parking allowed. Blue zones: free public parking for up to 2.5 hours with a visible parking disc showing your arrival time. White lines: metered spaces—pay at the nearby parking machine. For peace of mind, especially in the Old Town, it’s often easier to park in one of the city’s secure underground garages.

If you plan to visit more than one, consider purchasing the Museum Card, which grants you free access to all permanent and temporary exhibitions across the city’s museums for 24 or 48 hours. Bern, like the rest of Switzerland, uses the Swiss Franc (CHF).
