BERN

Berno is located in the central part of Switzerland. It is inhabited by 130,000 people. It is often said that the city is the Swiss capital, which is not quite true. Bern only has the status of a federal city, and Switzerland is a confederation of cantons and has no established capital. However, the authorities administering the country reside in Bern.

The city's symbol and one of its most important monuments is the late Gothic cathedral - the largest church in Bern, as well as in all of Switzerland. Take a stroll through the old town full of historic buildings, visit the Paul Klee center with its exceptionally rich collection of his works, or see the former home of the world's most famous physicist. Bern is the city of Einstein. The Nobel laureate lived and worked here from 1902 to 1914. The building at Kramgasse 49, in the Bernese old town, houses his apartment, where you can now see numerous photos and personal memorabilia of Albert Einstein.
