Rosengarten Bern : info and guided tour

Introduction to Rosengarten Bern

Rosengarten Bern is a much-loved panoramic park on the hills above Bern, at Alter Aargauerstalden 31B. Known for its rose bushes, lawns and sweeping views over the old town, it offers a remarkable viewpoint over Bern’s rooftops, the bends of the Aare, and the skyline of the historic center.

The site has become a public garden for walking and relaxing, especially valued for its peaceful atmosphere above the city. Its reputation rests as much on the quality of its plantings as on the panorama it opens up over Bern’s landmarks, making it an iconic stop for both visitors and locals.

The park combines well-kept landscaped areas with a natural frame over the urban scenery. The rose gardens are the most recognizable feature of the site, with numerous flower beds that give the place its name. Depending on the season, the visit showcases varied colors and highly photogenic views over central Bern.
