Welcome to the business destination Bern

Seminars, meetings, conventions, events – surrounded by nature and located in the heart of Europe, Bern offers everything event planners could wish for: classic and innovative locations with modern infrastructure, a wide range of accommodations, short travel distances and plenty of cultural activities to complement the programme.

Bern as a destination for business? Of course!

Bern lies in the middle of Europe and in the heart of Switzerland. This makes the federal city perfect for events of all kinds, as it is quick and easy to reach and very well connected, both nationally and internationally. Most Swiss attractions – the Swiss Alps, for example – are only a half-day trip or a day trip away.

  • Efficient

    The federal city in the centre of Europe saves travellers valuable time thanks to short distances from A to B. And the Bern Ticket allows them to use public transport free of charge while also travelling sustainably.

  • Relaxing

    Take a stroll through Bern’s alleys and enjoy the view of the nearby nature. The Bernese are focused and open-minded and cultivate a laid-back way of life and captivating “joie de vivre” that visitors and event organisers will adopt almost immediately.

  • Diverse

    Event locations that range from traditional to innovative, a large variety of accommodations, culinary options to suit every taste, everything from active to educational (team) activities, and a varied culture scene – Bern is full of highlights.

  • Connected

    The Bern Convention Bureau will gladly put you in contact with the right people, support you from the initial enquiry to the successful realisation of your event, and provide tips that only locals can give. And all of that in four languages.
