Located in the Swiss plateau part of the Canton of Berne, it is the capital of Switzerland, and the place where Albert Einstein worked out the theory of relativity, while working as a clerk in the patent office of the city. The landscape surrounding the city was formed by glaciers in the ice age, and the city itself was built on a peninsula by the river Aar, and all the bridges were built to allow the continuous growth of the city. Berne has a large offer of cultural activities and places, like museums, theaters, festivals and fairs, that come with an important nighlife activity, and a bear pit where, obviously, you can find Bernese bears.
