The picture shows a sunny day over the old town of Bern, Switzerland. The view from the rose garden stretches far over densely packed historic buildings with traditional red roofs, surrounded by lush greenery and the River Aare. The atmosphere is peaceful and idyllic, almost like something from another time. The clear sky and vibrant nature lend the panorama a fresh and revitalising atmosphere.

Rose Garden

The magic of cherry blossom in spring, around 250 varieties of roses in bloom in summer, a blaze of colour in the autumn months and the cosy fondue veranda of the Rosengarten restaurant in the winter season make a visit to the rose garden something special at any time of year.

This picture shows a group of tourists on a guided tour through the streets of Bern. A woman in a red dress fills her water bottle at a fountain while the other participants and the guide listen or watch. Swiss flags and the Zytglogge clock are visible in the background.

Bern, City of Fountains

Be it fountains, cisterns, the subterranean stream or the Aare river – in Bern, water is omnipresent. There are over 100 public fountains in Bern’s Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
