Berne Maps and Orientation
(Berne, Switzerland, CH)
Over 140,000 people currently call Berne their home and the Swiss capital is continually expanding. Berne is actually Switzerland's fourth-biggest city and can be found on the north-westerly side of the country, within the Swiss Plateau region of the Berne Canton.
The city centre has grown up around the River Aare and many historical bridges now span this prominent waterway. Central Berne itself is quite compact and remains fully contained within a sharp bend of the River Aare. At the very mouth of this notable U-bend is the railway station, while close by are a number of the city's numerous sights.
Berne Maps: Orientation of the City - Berne, Switzerland, CH
Some areas of central Berne are now restricted to pedestrians only and also public transportation, so it is often simplest to leave your car at the hotel. Maps of the city are available at the outlets of Berne's tourist offices (Bern Tourismus), which are located at the railway station and also next to the bear pits, across the river. Also check out the bookshops on the Neuengasse and the Schauplatzgasse.
