Bern is the capital city of Switzerland, situated in the western part of the country. Founded in the 12th century, the city's medieval old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its well-preserved historical architecture, including the Zytglogge (Clock Tower), numerous fountains, and characteristic sandstone buildings with arcaded walkways. The city lies along the Aare River, which curves around the historic center, creating a natural peninsula.
As Switzerland's seat of government, Bern hosts the Federal Palace (Bundeshaus), where the Swiss Parliament and Federal Council conduct their business. The city has a rich cultural heritage reflected in its numerous museums, theaters, and cultural institutions. It was also home to Albert Einstein during his most productive scientific period, and visitors can explore this connection at his former residence, now a museum.
Bern combines its role as a political center with a vibrant cultural scene, hosting various festivals and events throughout the year while maintaining its characteristic laid-back atmosphere.
