Bern

Bern is the capital of Switzerland, known for its beautifully preserved medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is built on a peninsula formed by the Aare River and features charming arcaded streets, historic sandstone buildings, and landmarks like the Zytglogge clock tower and the Bern Cathedral. Surrounded by rolling hills and with views of the Alps, Bern offers a blend of political importance, cultural richness, and relaxed Swiss charm.
