on sunny winter days, refuel briefly and then head over to the Christmas market

Wonderful place to take a break and enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the Alps, Helvetiaplatz, the old town, the Aare and the Kirchenfeld Bridge.

A popular and well-frequented place, especially in summer, with a wonderful view over the Aare and the Matten district. The whole backdrop is underscored by the view of Bern's local mountain, the Gurten. Locals affectionately call him "Güsche".

Early in the morning when the hype isn't big yet. When the sun is shining, it's the most beautiful.

However, the Federal Palace in Bern with its terrace and Bundesplatz is much more than just the seat of government. It attracts people of all ages and serves as a popular subject for photos.

An amazing 180-degree panoramic view of the Aare, you can see how green Bern is too, with the Alps in the background 🏔️. A lovely spot, a must-do for visitors. I was there towards the end of the afternoon and it wasn't very busy..
