Bern Hotels and Accommodation

Bern is located on the River Aare and is the capital of Switzerland. Though it is the Swiss capital and the home city for many international organizations, Bern retains much of its old provincial charm. Its medieval Altstadt (Old Town) is a World Heritage site, and has roots that go back to the 12th century. Bern is also Switzerland’s main educational centre. It doesn’t matter if you are here for a vacation or just a weekend, Bern will have something that appeals to you. Visitors staying in Bern hotels will have plenty to see and do. In the Old Town they can see Munster, a magnificent Gothic cathedral; and Heiliggestkirche, Switzerland’s finest Protestant church. There are also cafes and bustling markets like Munstergasse. Here people can see the Zytglogge, the 11th century tower (now a clocktower) that is a Bern landmark. The Kunstmuseum, one of the world’s great art galleries, is a must see. Stroll down Gerechtigkeitsgasse, and see some of the most beautiful old buildings in Bern
