Bern in five emoji

What each emoji refers to

🐻

The bear is the city's symbol and there have been live bears kept in Bern since at least the 1500s.

⏰

The Zytglogge clock has been running since the 1400s, and the figures move a few minutes before each hour rather than on it.

⛰️

The Bernese Alps are visible from the city on a clear day, about fifty kilometres south.

🍫

Toblerone was made here from 1908. The shape is the Matterhorn and there is a bear hidden in the mountain on the box.

🚞

Swiss trains are the backbone rather than a novelty, and Bern is the junction between the German and French halves.
