BERN
POP 123,500 / ELEV 540M
Wandering its picture-postcard Old Town, with arcaded stone streets and a provincial, laid-
back air, it is hard to believe that Bern (Berne in English and French) is the capital of
Switzerland - but it is, plus a Unesco World Heritage Site to boot.
Indeed, on the city's long, cobbled streets, lined with 15th-century terraced buildings and
fantastical folk figures frolicking on fountains since the 16th century, you feel as if you're
in some kind of dizzying architectural canyon.
