  • One of Bern's most memorable views is from the Bundesterrasse, the terrace behind the Federal Parliament Buildings. From here, the River Aare describes a gentle curve at the foot of the cliffs below, while the vista across to the forests opposite, and further, to the mountain range of the Bernese Oberland in the distance, is simply breathtaking.
  • Head to the Kleine Schanze, a city-centre park with a popular cafe-bar featuring DJs in the evenings during summer.
