Bern City - The capital of Switzerland
Bern, also spelled Berne, city, capital of Switzerland and of Bern canton, in the west-central part of the country. It lies along a narrow loop of the Aare River.
Bern has a population (as of December 2018) of 133,883. About 34% of the population are resident foreign nationals. Most of the population speaks German as their first language.
Bern is home to 114 Swiss heritage sites of national significance. It includes the entire Old Town, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and many sites within and around it.
One of the many things to love about Bern's UNESCO-listed medieval center is its uniformity: Most of the city was claimed by a fire in 1405, and tall sandstone buildings took over from the old wooden houses.
There are six kilometers of arcades in all, hiding shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants.
Switzerland's museums and art galleries are among the best in the world. The Renzo Piano-designed Paul Klee Zentrum on the outskirts of Berne houses many of the finest works by the city’s most famous artist and also hosts international exhibitions.
Climbing the 100-meter spire of Berne's cathedral is a must (open daily). Also notable are the City Hall (Rathaus; 1406–16, restored 1942) and the Nydegg Church (1494). The Federal Palace (Bundeshaus; 1851–1902) houses the Swiss federal parliament, as well as the administrative and executive offices of the federal government.
Ice-cream and chocolate
Gelateria di Berna, which has four locations in the city (plus another in Zurich) and is a Bernese institution, creates unusual flavours like hibiscus flower, strawberry and balsamic vinegar, and there’s a chocolate sorbet to die for.
