The city of Berne or Bern is the Bundesstadt (federal city) of Switzerland and, with 128,041 people, the fifth most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich, Geneva, Basel and Lausanne).
Berne's city center is largely medieval and has been recognised by UNESCO as a Cultural World Heritage Site. Perhaps its most famous sight is the Zytglogge (bernese German for "Time Bell"), an elaborate medieval clock tower with moving puppets. It also has an impressive 15th century Gothic cathedral, the Münster, and a 15th century town hall.
If you visit only one city in Switzerland, Bern is at the top of my list, we have visited there many times.
