Das Bild zeigt die belebte und herzliche Atmosphäre des Kornhauskellers in Bern, wo Gäste in einem historisch dekorierten Saal mit beeindruckenden Fresken und warmem Licht zusammenkommen, um ihr Essen zu geniessen.

Find a Venue

Das Bild zeigt ein helles und modern eingerichtetes Hotelzimmer. Ein großes, komfortables Bett steht im Zentrum, flankiert von stilvollen Möbeln und Pflanzen. Natürliches Licht flutet durch die Glastüren, die auf einen Balkon mit Aussicht auf eine Stadtlandschaft führen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt einladend, ruhig und komfortabel. Das Design ist schlicht und elegant, was eine entspannende Stimmung vermittelt, perfekt für Erholung und Ruhe.

Where to stay

Auf dem Bild sieht man eine Gruppe von Personen, die zusammen in einer Küche arbeiten. Sie scheinen Lebensmittel vorzubereiten, da eine Person Gemüse oder Obst schneidet. Einige tragen Kopfbedeckungen, was auf hygienische Standards hindeutet.

Complementary Activities

Ein entspannter Abend am Flussufer, wo Menschen bei einem Outdoor-Event interagieren. Man sieht Gäste, die sich unterhalten und Grillgerichte genießen. Historische Gebäude im Hintergrund unterstreichen die malerische Atmosphäre.

Service partners

Bern as a business destination? Yes, of course.

Efficient
In the federal city, which is centrally located in Europe, travellers save valuable time on short journeys from location to location and can travel free of charge and sustainably on public transport thanks to the Bern Ticket.
Slowing down
Strolling through the narrow streets of Bern, enjoying the view of the nearby countryside. The people of Bern are focussed, cosmopolitan and cultivate a deliberately relaxed culture that spills over to visitors and event organisers in no time at all.
Diverse
From classic or innovative locations, accommodation and catering options to active or educational (team) activities and a varied cultural programme - Bern has a highlight for every taste.
Networking
The Bern Convention Bureau connects you with the right contacts, supports you from the initial enquiry to the successful realisation of your event and provides tips that only locals can give - in four languages.

Sustainable Meetings & Events

Why dispose of aperitif leftovers when participants can take them home with them? From paperless registration forms to virtual trade fair apps - sustainable events not only protect the environment, they also leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Be inspired

"Together into the future"

New hotel rooms, new restaurants, the new festival hall: Bern has every reason to be (pre-)happy and is now even more so making common cause. Bern Welcome, Kursaal Bern and BERNEXPO are joining forces to network and utilise synergies as the Congress Hub Bern interest group. Are you an expert in your field and well connected in your industry? Have you been harbouring an idea for a congress for a long time or would you like to bring an existing event format to Bern? We can help you get the ball rolling.
