Holding a meeting in the political centerpiece of the canton and city of Bern is not only a privilege of Bern’s Grand Council and State Council. The premises of the 600-year-old Rathaus, which is located in the heart of Bern’s Old Town, can also be used for celebrations, meetings and meals. The medieval, spacious Rathaushalle (Festivity Hall) and the magnificent Grossratssaal (Council Hall) will ensure the success of your business event.

In addition to state-of-the-art technology, the Rathaus also has exciting stories to tell, which can be discovered during a guided tour of the building after your event. Or perhaps you would prefer winding down with aperitifs or dinner with your team at one of the charming Old Town restaurants?
