Best View in Bern
Perched on a hillside above the Old Town, Rosengarten offers the most spectacular panoramic views of Bern's UNESCO medieval center. See the Aare River loop, red-roofed arcades, and distant Alpine peaks from this elevated vantage point.
Originally a cemetery, the site transformed into a public garden in 1913. Today it features over 200 varieties of roses, 200 types of irises, rhododendrons, and alpine plants. Peak bloom: May through September.
