What should I pack when moving to Bern?

We asked people living in Bern to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Bern, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate for the country's four distinct seasons. This includes warm clothing for the winter months, such as thermal layers, sweaters, scarves, gloves, and a heavy coat. For the summer months, pack lightweight clothing, such as t-shirts, shorts, and swimwear. You should also pack sturdy, comfortable shoes for walking, as Bern is a pedestrian-friendly city. Rain gear, such as a waterproof jacket and umbrella, is also recommended due to the frequent rainfall in Switzerland. Don't forget to pack your important documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any necessary medical records. If you take prescription medication, bring an adequate supply along with a copy of your prescription. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be difficult to find in Switzerland. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronics, as the plug type in Switzerland may be different from your home country. Lastly, consider packing personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes," explained one expat living in Bern, Switzerland.
