The old village centre of Bern West and the largest district in the city's sixth Stadtteil, with the postwar estates around it. It carries a reputation that local reporting itself describes as a media construction — shootings, vandalism, tower blocks — and a reputation is not something this site rates on. What is reported: youth violence in the Kleefeld part of the district, against a canton-wide picture of total offences down 4% in 2025 and youth violence up 5%, sharpest among 10- to 14-year-olds. Ordinary by day, with the usual caution for large estates after dark. Sources: Kantonspolizei Bern PKS 2025; Hauptstadt; Kanton Bern.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Bern publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bümpliz safe?
Wandroz currently rates Bümpliz in Bern as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Bern at night. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Bern publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Bümpliz safe at night?
At night, Bümpliz is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Bern. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Bümpliz a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Bümpliz's day rating (an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Bern, not Bümpliz specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Bümpliz?
Not an official government crime feed — Bümpliz's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Bümpliz well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
