Staying true to the traits of a capital city, Bern has a magnificent Renaissance styled Parliament Building, considered a national monument and the seat of the Swiss Confederation. Rife with symbolism, the 26 fountains on the premises of the federal building each stand for one Swiss canton. The interiors of the parliament building house the coat of arms of all 26 cantons, in addition to two murals and statues that represent the swearing of the oath.
Access to the Bundeshaus is only possible through a guided tour; depending on your choice of language, the tours are conducted in 5 languages, check the website for the schedule and be on time. Carry a piece of ID.
