About Bern

Bern station, officially Bern Bahnhof, serves the Swiss federal capital and functions as one of the most important interchange points on the Swiss Federal Railways network.

An extensive underground shopping and transit concourse links the mainline station directly to Bern's tram and bus network, making it the central mobility hub for the entire Swiss capital region.
