Berne - Bubenbergplatz

The hub of the Berne's traffic is along the Bubenbergplatz. On its north side stands the handsome Bürgerspital (Municipal hospital, 1734-42; now an old people's home), built around two courtyards. To the right is the Heiliggeistkirche (church of the Holy Spirit: Protestant), in French Baroque style, built 1726-29.

From here it is a short distance south along Christoffelgasse into the broad Bundesgasse, in which are the Bundeshaus and the Kleine Schanze.
