List of parks in Bern

In the Old City, the most prominent green spaces are those on the sunny southern ridge of the Old City peninsula. From west to east, these are the Kleine Schanze, the Bundesterrasse, the privately owned Casinoterrasse and the Münsterplattform.^[2]

The Bundesterrasse (Federal Terrace) is the terrace on the south, Aar-facing front of the Federal Palace of Switzerland, the building housing the Swiss federal parliament and several federal executive departments. The terrace follows the ridge of the Old City peninsula from the Kleine Schanze in the west to the Hotel Bellevue Palace and the Kirchenfeldbrücke in the east.
