Bern's public transport system is exceptionally efficient, but many of the Old Town's attractions are best explored on foot. Before you leave Gjilan, ensure your phone is charged and your digital ticket is ready in your Apple Wallet. This preparation allows you to focus on the beauty of the Aare River and the Zytglogge clock tower rather than logistics.
