About Bern
Bern is the federal city of Switzerland, situated on a peninsula formed by the Aare river in the Swiss Plateau. Home to around 135,000 residents, it serves as the seat of the country's federal government and parliament. The medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its arcaded sandstone walkways and the landmark Zytglogge clock tower. Compact yet culturally rich, Bern balances its role as a political centre with a relaxed, liveable character, making it a rewarding destination for visitors interested in history, architecture, and riverside nature.
