Parliament Building

I walk around the building, so I am not visiting inside yet. But maybe next time. It was a gorgeous and magnificent, ancient building with a lot of architecture from outside. They have different beauty and mystery from far away to come close to it. I enjoy walking around and enjoy watching the beautiful from the dark to the sun 🌞

*🏛️✨ Where Democracy Meets Majesty: Switzerland’s Parliament Building! ✨🏛️** Just explored the **Bundeshaus** (Federal Palace of Switzerland) in Bern, and wow—this is where history, politics, and architectural grandeur collide! 🇨🇭✨ Nestled in the heart of the capital, this stunning **neo-Renaissance masterpiece** is the seat of Swiss democracy, and even if politics isn’t your thing, the building’s soaring domes, marble halls, and intricate frescoes will leave you awestruck. 🎨 Don’t miss the **domed central hall** with its shimmering stained glass and symbols of Swiss unity. Peek into the **National Council and Council of States chambers** (when parliament isn’t in session!) to see where Switzerland’s famous consensus-driven decisions unfold. 🤝 And the **Bundesplatz square** out front? It’s perfect for people-watching or snapping a selfie with the **Alpine fountain**! ⛲ **Pro tip**: - **Free guided tours** (in multiple languages!) dive into Swiss political history and the building’s symbolism. - Visit at night when the **Bundeshaus glows with light shows** or during December for the **Christmas market** on the square! 🎄 - Walk up the **terrace** for a postcard view of Bern’s Old Town and the Aare River.

A must-see as it's the capital of Switzerland, and the parliament building is a real masterpiece. Haven't yet gone inside the Parliament building, but it's stunning from the outside. A fabulous view of parts of Bern from behind the parliament building is something that makes one stand there, spend more time and gaze in awe! Loved being there!

Fantastic architecture here and the building is a very attractive colour in keeping with the old town. The area out the back offers a good view over Bern and has benches to sit.

I can’t say anything except ‘so beautiful’ one of the absolute must-see spots in Bern.

The view around the building has become really, really ugly. It looks like in depressive Soviet Union. Only grey, depressive blocks. Switzerland was once so beautiful, so marvellous. Now everything they build is bad. Just look at the triangle of the Parliament building. A pattern made of lines? Who approved that? It looks like made by an infant with zero knowledge about art or architecture. Switzerland must return to its former glory and beauty. Switzerland must return to the time of the Belle Epoche.

It is like an iconic historic building stand as a highlights from Bern city. It consists 3 interconnected buildings in the Southwest of Old Bern city. If the weather is perfect you can see the beautiful mountains view Bernese Alps on backdrop.

A beautiful place with an outstanding view of the city of Bern from the balcony. There is a wonderful fountain here at the square outside the Parliament Building. The structure of Parliament Building is iconic of the entire city's structure. Bern, on its own, is a university city majorly, so you will find a huge crowd of students near the balconies and the square. On the other side of the balcony and fountain is a lane full of flea market kind of store, amazing restaurants and iconic roads of Bern.
