Bern: What Awaits You
Bern, the Swiss capital, surprises visitors with its remarkably well-preserved medieval old town β a UNESCO World Heritage Site with six kilometres of covered arcades, the Zytglogge clock tower, and the Bern Minster. The city straddles a dramatic bend in the emerald Aare river, which is swimmable in summer. Einstein developed his theory of relativity here, and his apartment is now a museum. The Bundeshaus (Federal Palace) terrace overlooks the Aare valley toward the Bernese Alps. The BΓ€renPark bear enclosure continues a tradition dating to 1513.
