Bern, the public administration of the country

Around Bern's medieval core, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, diverse districts have grown, each with its own history and architectural features. Among these, projects stand out that have influenced settlement history far beyond the city limits. The administrative structures, integrated into the urban fabric, are defining elements of the federal capital. New area developments, including associated school buildings, the museum quarter with its embassy buildings, and restored and repurposed historic buildings around the main artery, the Aare River, are best explored on foot or by bicycle.
