Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language in Bern
Bern is German-speaking, and Swiss police events often operate in German and French. Bring English-language product sheets and ask suppliers or the organiser about session language before you rely on English-only sessions.
Punctuality and scheduling
Swiss meetings and transport connections usually run to the minute. Arrive early for badge collection and security screening on the first morning, and plan supplier meetings with a buffer rather than chaining them back to back.
Sunday and evening hours
Many Bern shops are closed on Sundays, and some restaurants close between lunch and dinner. If you arrive on a Sunday, check grocery and dining options near your hotel in advance.
Payment and tipping
The currency is the Swiss franc. Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and transport apps, but keep a little cash for small kiosks. Service is usually included; rounding up the bill is normal rather than expected.
Public transport etiquette
Validate your Libero ticket before boarding and keep it until the end of the journey. Trams and trains are quiet spaces, and inspectors do check tickets on board.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Bern; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.
Schengen entry rules apply for Switzerland. Whether you need a visa depends on nationality; check the official Swiss state secretariat (SEM) and Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA) pages before booking. Business visitors should carry an invitation or registration confirmation from the SPIK organiser.
Schengen visa applications are lodged through the Swiss online visa system or the responsible Swiss representation; allow extra time in peak spring travel periods and confirm document lists on the official pages.
