This spring, the international community is invited to learn about two historic institutions and there will be a children's city tour for the younger generation.

The Beatrice von Wattenwyl House dates back to the 15th century. In the past, the building in the heart of Bern's old town served as a residence and has more recently been used by the Federal Council to receive guests and for political discussions (Photo source: BBL archive, photographer Alexander Gempeler).
