Bern, Switzerland City and Venue
Overview
Of all Swiss cities, Bern (Berne in French) is perhaps the most
immediately charming. Crammed onto a steep-sided peninsula in a
crook of the fast-flowing River Aare, its quiet, cobbled lanes,
lined with sandstone arcaded buildings straddling the pavement,
have changed barely at all in over five hundred years but for
the adornment of modern shop signs and the odd car or tram
rattling past. The hills all around, and the steep banks of the
river, are still liberally wooded. Views, both of the Old Town’s
clustered roofs and of the majestic Alps on the horizon, are
breathtaking. Coming from Zürich or Geneva, it’s hard to
remember that Bern – once voted Europe’s most floral city – is
the nation’s capital, home of the Swiss parliament and wielder
of final federal authority.
For all its political status, Bern is a tiny city of barely
130,000 people and retains a small town’s easy approach to life.
The attraction of the place is its ambience; traffic is kept out
of the Old Town and you could spend days just wandering the
streets and alleys, café-hopping and – if it’s warm – joining
the locals for a plunge into the river. The perfectly preserved
medieval street plan, with its arcades, street fountains and
doughty towers persuaded UNESCO to deem Bern a World Heritage
Site, placing it in the company of such legendary sites as
Florence, Petra and the Taj Mahal.
Stade de Suisse Wankdorf opened in 2005 and will host 3 matches
during the UEFA EURO 2008. This stadium and the area around it
have a shopping center, restaurants, a public school, offices
and apartments.
