Knowledge & learning in Bern
Bern, Switzerland's federal city, weaves together historical depth and an enduring culture of knowledge. The Bibliothek Münstergasse holds texts and records in the heart of the old town, while the Bern Botanic Garden at Campagne Oberried brings the study of plants to life. The Anna Seiler Fountain commemorates the founder of Bern's first civic hospital. Surrounding sites — including the ruins of Mülenen, Unspunnen, Kastelen, Burg Aris ob Kien, and Burg Grenchen, alongside the Bear Pit and Brienzer Rothorn — broaden the picture: here, knowledge takes shape through the city's layered relationship with nature, history, and place.

Bern
naturelocal gemsThe Federal Office for Food Safety and Veterinary Affairs (FSVO, German: BLV) is Switzerland's national authority responsible for food safety, nutrition, animal health, animal welfare, and species conservation in international trade. Founded in 1959 and subordinated to the Federal Department of Home Affairs, it coordinates the implementation of national and international standards in veterinary and food matters. While not a tourist destination in the traditional sense, the FSVO shapes daily life in Switzerland through its oversight of food imports, animal welfare standards, and species protection policies.
