BERN has a historic center which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boasts 6 kilometers of arches, one of the longest covered commercial promenades in Europe. Walking through the city you will breathe a medieval atmosphere thanks to the numerous fountains, brick facades, alleys and historic towers. The shops, bars and café-theaters of the historic center, partly obtained from cellars with barrel vaults and small cafes, attract both the Bernese and tourists. The largest collection of the works of the painter Paul Klee is kept in the Paul Klee Center. Albert Einstein's house testifies to the physicist's stay in Bern at the beginning of the 20th century and can be combined with a visit to the Einstein museum. Bern also has a lot to offer in terms of exhibitions, such as the Historical Museum, the Art Museum, the Swiss Alpine Museum or the Museum of Communication

You can have the most beautiful view of the city from the rose garden overlooking the Bear Pit or from the platform of the 101-meter tower of the cathedral. The ancient ramparts drop steeply towards the shore.
Bern is also the seat of the Swiss government. A few steps from the main station is the Bundeshaus, or the Federal Building, seat of the Parliament.
