"It's very nice"
RK Rk
"Bern-Bern is located in the north-central part of the western half of Switzerland. It is the fifth largest city after Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Lausanne, and the third largest city in the German-speaking area. It is the capital of the canton of Bern and the de facto seat of the central government of Switzerland. Its old town has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is very lively and beautiful here, worth a visit."
