With its medieval charm, cobbled arcades, and river-wrapped old town, Bern feels like a step back in time — yet it remains the elegant and quietly powerful capital of Switzerland.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bern’s Altstadt (Old Town) is a masterpiece of preservation. Stroll beneath 6 kilometers of covered arcades, explore 500-year-old sandstone buildings, and admire the Zytglogge, a 15th-century astronomical clock that still puts on a show every hour. The majestic Federal Palace (Bundeshaus), home to the Swiss Parliament, stands as a symbol of Swiss democracy and tradition.
Set along the turquoise curves of the Aare River, the city offers stunning natural views and leisurely walks, especially from the iconic Rosengarten, where you can gaze down on red rooftops and distant Alps. Bern also proudly celebrates its cultural roots — from Albert Einstein’s former residence to vibrant art at the Paul Klee Center.
Calm yet cosmopolitan, Bern blends political importance with poetic stillness — offering visitors a truly authentic and enriching Swiss experience.
