Grab your suitcase, walk out of arrivals at Bern Airport (BRN-Belp), and pick up your rental car. Which one you drive off in depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be spending a lot of time driving in downtown Bern, around 4 miles from the terminal, select something zippy and small. A compact car with good handling will be ideal for those busy streets. But with a wealth of things to see, like the scenic glaciers of the surrounding region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
