Bern, the captivating capital of Switzerland, offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty that draws visitors from around the world. The city’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town is a masterpiece of medieval architecture, with its iconic six kilometers of covered arcades—one of the longest shopping promenades in Europe—and landmarks like the Zytglogge (a 13th-century astronomical clock tower), the majestic Gothic Bern Cathedral, and the Federal Palace (Bundeshaus), home to Switzerland’s parliament. Art and culture thrive in Bern with world-class museums such as the Zentrum Paul Klee and the Bern Historical Museum. The Rose Garden (Rosengarten) offers panoramic views of the red-roofed old town and snow-capped Alps in the distance, making it a favorite photo spot. Just beyond the city, visitors can explore the storybook beauty of Emmental’s rolling green hills and traditional cheese farms, or head south to the Bernese Oberland for breathtaking Alpine adventures in Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, and the Jungfrau region.
