Due to the new Covid-19 protection measures of the Canton of Berne, the Rendez-vous Bundesplatz lighting spectacle will be suspended in the coming weeks. In addition, it is now being examined with the City of Bern whether the spectacle can be resumed at a later date.
We recommend that you arrive by public transport. You can reach Bundesplatz from Bern railway station in a few minutes by foot and the entire conurbation easily with Bern Mobil.

On the way, simply dial the toll-free number 0800 727 536, and you will be informed of the status of available parking spaces at all times.

Securitas has been assisting us since 2011 with the construction of Rendez-vous Bundesplatz and providing security. The city of Bern is also involved and is keeping watch over Bundesplatz. To ensure that the performances can take place unhindered on the big stage, all public and private traffic will be diverted during this time.
Many thanks to Securitas and the City of Bern for their commitment.

Sometimes it’s urgent… On the Bundesplatz itself, there are no WC facilities available. However, visitors to the Rendez-vous Bundesplatz can use the public toilets in the Bernese multi-storey car parks in the city center or the public toilets at Bern railway station before or after the event.
