The romantic Swiss capital on the Aare River owes its appeal to the unity of its urban landscape created by its sandstone buildings from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

The cityscape of Bern, founded in 1191, is marked by six kilometers of arcades (Lauben), Renaissance decorative fountains, the Late Gothic cathedral (Münster), largely preserved sandstone facades and a unique skyline of roofs.
