BERN
Bern is a political municipality in Switzerland and, as a federal city, its de facto capital. Bern is the capital of the canton of the same name and lies in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district of this canton. The city is not only the seat of the municipal and cantonal, but as a federal city also of the federal administration and thus the largest administrative centre in Switzerland.
The city of Bern has a total population of 143,278 (as of 31 December 2019). After Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Lausanne, and ahead of Winterthur, it is one of the most populous municipalities with over 100,000 inhabitants in Switzerland.
For years, Bern has been listed with Zurich and Geneva as one of the cities with the highest cost of living in the world.
The Swiss capital is also a city of culture: whether theaters, museums, concerts, markets or exhibitions, culture enthusiasts will find a rich cultural offering in and around Bern.
