Cultural locations in Bern

A cultural destination by the riverside: the Dampfzentrale is a venue for contemporary music and dance, housed in a former industrial complex on the banks of the Aare and devoted to exceptional artistry.

More than 150 artists from every discipline work in this studio in the heart of Bern, from graphic designers to choreographers and filmmakers. People meet here to produce art, but also to drink coffee, sell pictures and talk about books.
