Bern Capital of Switzerland ♥

Here is a beautiful picture of the City of Bern, night snowing time. I really love it, if I have to stay in Switzerland for the rest of my life then I would choose to live there. The structure of Bern's City center is largely medieval and has been recognised by UNESCO as a Cultural World Heritage Site. Perhaps its most famous sight is the "Zytglogge" (Bernese German for "Time Bell"), an elaborate medieval clock tower with moving puppets. It also has an impressive 15th century Cathedral, the Münster, and a 15th century town hall. Thanks to 6 kilometers of arcades, the old town boasts one of the longest covered shopping promenades in Europe. One place I love to go during Summer is the Garden of Roses (Rosengarten), from which a scenic panoramic view of the medieval town centre can be enjoyed, is a well-kept Rosary on a hill, converted into a very Romantic Park (it used to be a cemetery in 1913).
