Bern was founded in 1191. Goethe described it at the time in 1779 as “The most beautiful city we have ever seen”. Some 200 years later, the UNESCO Commission confirmed this impression and in 1983 named Bern’s old town a World Heritage Site. Even greats such as Einstein and Klee have lived and worked there. To this day, the charm of the city impresses guests from all over the world as well as locals. Let yourself be enchanted too!
