ROSE GARDEN

The Rose Garden (Rosengarten) in Bern is one of the city’s most beloved and picturesque spots, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Originally a cemetery, this 5.5-hectare park was transformed into a public garden in 1913 and has since become a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike.

Home to over 200 varieties of roses, along with irises, rhododendrons, and other seasonal flowers, the garden bursts with color and fragrance from spring through autumn. The meticulously maintained flower beds are complemented by serene ponds, fountains, and well-placed benches, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and reflection.

The Rose Garden also features a charming pavilion and a popular restaurant where visitors can enjoy Swiss cuisine while taking in the stunning views of Bern’s medieval architecture, the Aare River, and the distant Alps. The garden is not only a horticultural delight but also a cultural hub, hosting events, exhibitions, and open-air concerts.

Whether you're a nature lover, a photographer, or simply in search of a tranquil escape, the Rose Garden in Bern offers an unforgettable experience, blending natural beauty with the rich history and culture of Switzerland's capital.
