That is Berne's zoo. Nicly situated close to the river. It's small compared to other zoos but especially the part you have to pay for it worth going. Otherwise a nise area for a walk too.

Both sides of the river are a fantastic area for jogging or walking. And also close to my place. It's another quality I love the area of the Länggasse for. Close to EVERYTHING. ;)
