This garden is a very nice place to take a stroll to admire the colorful floral residents. The garden is well kept and very attractive. After a stroll, it is almost inconceivable not to sit for a while and soak in the pleasant surroundings. It provides a compelling spot to stop for a while to literally smell the roses.

It's just a short walk up the hill from Baerengraben. Lovely small park with great views over to the old town. From here it is very obvious why you are looking at a Unesco World Heritage. Have tea up here or enjoy a cold beer during summer. I would go later part of the afternoon, or early evening when the... More

If you want to avoid climbing a lot- use the entrance from Viktoriastrasse, ( easy to reach by bus ) then climb down towards Nydeggbrucke ( where you can see the bears, near the bridge), cross the bridge and you arrive in the old center.

Walking under the trees, along all these beautiful flower beds, is something for the soul! Stepping up to the wall, enjoying the view of the old city and the majestic mountain peaks in the distance makes you forget the strain of walking up here from the bear park!

If you really love roses, this is the place for you. Otherwise go for the lovely park space & the view of the old town of Bern.

Climbing your way up to the Rosengarten is more challenging than it looks, but the view from the top is quite pretty: The Aare snaking around Bern's charmingly uniform city center. The roses hadn't reached full swing when I was there, so I can't comment on them. But while walking around, I became aware of this hauntingly wonderful music that... More

This is a lovely place to go to on a sunny day. The views across the river and the old town of Bern are fantastic, especially at sunset. Lovely rose bushes dot the park and there's a decent restaurant too. At the bottom of the path (direction river) is the bear pit and two more good restaurants.

This is a very steep fairly long hike on a smooth asphalt path, but we took our time and did it before the sun got too high. Impressed with parents pushing up strollers. The rose garden is a pleasant walk, the restaurant was especially nice with a beautiful view.

I really did not visit the grounds for the Rose garden but did walk up the hill in order to get great views of the Altstadt Bern for taking pictures during my trip. The walk from the old town is not that bad. I visited the Bear Garden first before proceeding up to the Rose Garden. I visited during mid... More

From the Rosengarten you will have a stunning view of Bern Altstadt (old town) with its old buildings, beautiful bridges and its tall Cathedral. The river Aare magically frames the old town with its calm water. Far on your left side you can see the big Parliament, not a Medieval building but interesting anyway. The garden itself is quite big,... More
