Bern Must-Sees

Bern’s UNESCO-listed Old City is defined by its six kilometers of limestone arcades and medieval layout. The Zytglogge clock tower features a 15th-century astronomical mechanism, while the nearby Käfigturm marks the city's former prison gate. Artistic highlights include the wave-like Zentrum Paul Klee and the city’s unique 16th-century fountains, such as the Kindlifresserbrunnen. The Bundesplatz serves as the political heart of Switzerland, flanked by the Parliament Building and the Baroque Church of the Holy Ghost.
