Crea recuerdos inolvidables con toda la familia en Bern, un destino lleno de actividades para todas las edades.
Bern is the capital of Switzerland and a city that stands out for its medieval charm and rich history, located on a natural peninsula formed by the Aar River. Its old town, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, preserves an almost intact urban layout since the 15th century, with cobbled streets, Gothic arcades and yellow sandstone facades that give it a unique character. The city is home to important monuments such as the Zytglogge Clock Tower, the Swiss Federal Palace (Bundeshaus) and the Bern Cathedral (Münster). With a population of approximately 133,000 in the city and more than 400,000 in its metropolitan area, Bern combines Swiss political stability with a vibrant cultural and commercial life. Its location in the center of Switzerland, surrounded by alpine landscapes, makes it a strategic and visually impressive point. Bern is special for its balance between history, well-preserved medieval architecture and modernity, as well as being the seat of the Swiss federal government.
