Geneva runs on punctuality — buses and trains leave on the dot. Tap water is exceptionally pure and free to drink from public fountains.
Bern's 6km of covered arcades (Lauben) mean you can walk the entire old city without an umbrella in any weather. The city's bear symbol is everywhere — don't miss the Bear Park by the river.
