Renting a flat in Bern

Bern is the Swiss federal capital, with a medieval old town set in a loop of the Aare river. Vacancy rates are low, so furnished flats are sought after, and trams and buses make even outer districts quick to reach.

Areas to look at

  • Altstadt: UNESCO-listed arcaded old town
  • Länggasse: near the university, student feel
  • Kirchenfeld: embassies, elegant villas
  • Breitenrain: lively local shops and cafés
