Bern might not be the first city that comes to someone's mind when one thinks of destinations around the world that have the craziest nightlife. The Swiss capital, is more often than not, known more prominently for its museums, gardens, and churches. But what you see is a mere portion of what this UNESCO World Heritage Site is capable of. The city of Bern houses some of the trendiest pubs, bars, and clubs that one could ever come across in all of Europe. The city of Bern combines a bit of Las Vegas, a little bit of London, and a tiny sparkle of both Paris and Amsterdam. The city is truly a wonderful spot for all the night birds out there. 

Kunstmuseum (Museum of Art)- the museum is home to more than 51,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and films.
