A great place to do the obligatory ritual in Bern - jump from the bridge into the river! On a hot summer day - this is the best entertainment in the city! We parked at City Hall Parking Amag Bern and then walked along the path down to the river (marked in blue). Near the bridge itself we noticed a parking lot where it would probably be ideal to park for this event - marked in green.

Awesome, I recommend swimming in the river as well!
