Another key attraction is the Bern Historical Museum, which houses extensive collections that showcase the cultural and historical development of the region. It includes artifacts from the Middle Ages to contemporary times, providing insight into Bern’s rich history.

The Federal Palace, or Bundeshaus, is the seat of the Swiss Federal Assembly and the Federal Council. Guided tours allow visitors to explore the building's impressive architecture and learn about Switzerland's political system.
