Bundesplatz

The social heart of the city, this public square is named for the bear, the animal that serves as Bern's symbol.

As its name suggests, the square is located in front of the Bundeshaus. The central bank is nearby, and good photos can be taken from the square itself. There is also a large water cascade suitable for children .

Cathedral at Munsterplatz / St. Vincent (Munster Kirche)

Located in the center of the Old Town, this 15th-century cathedral sports a towering 328-foot-tall spire that dominates the city skyline.

Reviewed By yns_10 - Sydney, Australia

The charming Gothic Berner Münster is the country's tallest cathedral. After the plague came to Bern in 1526, many citizens converted to Reformation and by 1528 masses were stopped and icons cast out and the church became a reformation church.

Old City

Reviewed By hajshere - Mumbai, India

Bern is so underrated as a place to visit when it comes to Switzerland, even though it's the capital. I cannot comprehend why, maybe more people need to visit. You definitely need to visit Bern, it's a mesmerising mix of both old world drop dead gorgeous charm and the very well behaved new.The medieval architecture is preserved beautiful in the Altstadt (Old Town). I loved walking the cobblestone streets, learning how the old has been adopted to new eg: underground hideouts like basements of olden days are now boutiques and salons. The city, the houses around the beautiful River Aare make a breathtaking sight. The natural scene is beyond post card picture perfect. It's pure Magic. The Swiss are my kinda people and Bern has my heart, If I ever move somewhere this would be it.
