Bern, the public administration of the country

Around Bern's medieval core, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, different neighborhoods have evolved, each with its own history and architectural features. Within them stand out projects which have influenced urban settlements far beyond the city limit. The administrative structures are integrated into the urban fabric as a distinctive feature of the federal city. New site developments, the corresponding school buildings, the museum quarter with the embassy buildings, renovated and converted historic buildings around the main artery, the river Aare, are waiting to be discovered on foot or by bicycle.
