While Switzerland doesn’t officially have a capital, Bern is largely considered to be one, since it houses important government functions, as well as has all the embassies. It’s only an hour (or an hour and a half, depends on which train you take) from Zurich, which is really nice. It will be useful if I ever need to get visas to different countries.

It’s a typical small European town with many old beautiful buildings, and amazing mountainous nature.
