Das Beste im Kanton Bern

Kanton Bern Unmissables

Kanton Bern features the UNESCO-listed Old City of Bern, characterized by medieval arcades and the Zytglogge astronomical clock tower. In the Bernese Oberland, the Jungfrau Railway ascends into the high Alps, while the crystal-clear waters of Blausee and Bachalpsee offer alpine scenery near Grindelwald. The region includes the turquoise Lake Brienz and the 3,238-meter peak of Titlis. In the capital, the Bundesplatz serves as the political center, hosting the Swiss Parliament and historic government buildings.
