Located in the heart of Bern, the Federal Palace overlooks the picturesque Old Town and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Its distinctive green dome and grand facades make it easily recognizable.

The Federal Palace houses the two chambers of the Swiss Federal Assembly—the National Council and the Council of States. It is also home to the Federal Council, the executive branch of the Swiss government. The Federal Council consists of seven members, each heading a government department, and it is led by a rotating presidency.

The building's construction began in 1852 and was completed in 1902. Designed by architect Hans Auer, the Federal Palace features a neoclassical style with Renaissance and Baroque influences. Its grandeur is reflected in the elegant facades, imposing columns, and intricate details throughout the structure.
