Six kilometres of arcades
Overview

Intro
Thanks to its six kilometres of arcades, Bern is in effect home to one of the longest covered shopping promenades in Europe.
This has its benefits not only in rainy weather, but also in high summer, when the shade is cool and pleasant. Speciality stores, boutiques, galleries and emporia filled with curiosities all make for happy window shopping. Bern’s museums, meanwhile, ensure that the city has plenty to inspire culture fans, too.
