THE BERN ROUND - STOP BY STOP

STOP 1

Stadion Wankdorf

Look at the vast seating area first. This is Stadion Wankdorf, a football stadium in Bern, Switzerland. It is the second largest all-seater football stadium in the country. Work on the stadium started in 2005, and it now serves as the home ground of BSC Young Boys. The venue has hosted major international tournaments, acting as one of the venues for UEFA Euro 2008 and UEFA Women's Euro 2025. I've seen a few crumbs dropped by excited fans in these stands over the years. Whether you are a sports fan or just passing through, the scale of the place is hard to miss. It is a massive piece of the city's sporting infrastructure that stands out in the neighborhood.

Zentrum Paul Klee

Since its inception in 2005, the Zentrum Paul Klee has become a major landmark in Bern. It is an art museum, a memory institution, and a nonprofit organization dedicated to the artist Paul Klee. The building was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano and now welcomes 148,610 annual visitors. You can pick out the vast scale of the collection here, as the museum features about 40 percent of Paul Klee's entire pictorial oeuvre. Because of its importance to the arts, the site is a class A Swiss cultural property of national significance. I've found that the architecture is just as interesting as the paintings inside, though you'll need to keep your eyes peeled to take in all the details of the structure and the art together.

André Lambert, an architect from Neuchâtel, designed the Bernisches Historisches Museum. This building is a history museum and a memory institution that was built in 1894. It is the second largest historical museum in Switzerland and is recognized as a class A Swiss cultural property of national significance. As an organization, it manages a site that has evolved over time, including an extension to the original museum building that was completed in 2009.

STOP 8

Zytglogge

Let me show you the Zytglogge, a gate tower built in the Romanesque architecture style. Its inception was in 1220, and it remains a central landmark in Bern. While you might first notice it as a city gate, it is also an astronomical clock and a carillon. Over time, the building has served as a guard tower, prison, clock tower, centre of urban life and civic memorial. I've noticed that people often stop here just to watch the clockwork in action, but the tower itself is a piece of history. It is recognized as a class A Swiss cultural property of national significance. Whether you are interested in the mechanics of the clock or the history of the city's defenses, there is plenty to see here.
