Münsterplatz

The Münsterplatz functions as a central pedestrian zone with smooth stone pavement surfaces bordered by historic structures and the Bern Cathedral.

The square originated in medieval times as a market and gathering place, evolving alongside the construction of the Bern Cathedral during the 15th century.

Throughout the year, the square hosts traditional Swiss markets, musical performances, and seasonal celebrations that connect residents with local traditions.

The area remains closed to vehicles, offering direct access to public transportation stops and containing multiple benches for visitors to rest.

The square's elevated position on a natural terrace provides views over the lower Aare River district and mountains in the distance.
