6.Beatenberg: Beatus Caves Entry Ticket with Museum

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 253 reviews · 1 day · from $26

Visit the Beatus Caves in Canton Bern for a self-guided walk through roughly 1 kilometer of grottos, halls, and canyons. Start at the geology museum, use the included audio guide in English, French, or German, then follow the cave path past stalactites, stalagmites, streams, and waterfalls. Bring warm clothes and shoes with good grip.

“We both ranked this as our favorite activity of our trip between Rome, Florence, Milan, Lauterbrunnen, Lucerne and here. Maybe because we didn't know anything about it beforehand and just heard "There are some cool caves to walk through in this place." so we were NOT expecting the beauty and history all attached to this place. IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTION: We had a QR code through GYG to go here, but you have to SCAN that at the restaurant and receive actual paper tickets. Maybe we missed that in the directions, but we ended up having to go back down to get paper tickets and that was frustrating. Everything else was amazing!”
