About this venue
BERNEXPO is more than a hall—it’s a modern event campus that sets the benchmark for large-scale productions in Bern. With spacious exhibition halls and the new Festhalle, it adapts easily to concerts, shows, trade fairs, and sporting events, supported by infrastructure designed for demanding setups.
Inside, the experience feels “big-stage” from the first steps: wide foyers, clear wayfinding, and a layout that works equally well for concert energy and sports formats. Visitors often appreciate the on-site practicality—food and drink options, comfortable waiting areas, and a flow that gets the crowd to their seats smoothly.
Address: Mingerstrasse 6, Bern, Switzerland. Reaching the entrance is typically straightforward: the site sits on key road links, with the Guisanplatz tram stop right by the location and parking close to the main entrance.

About the city
Bern, the Swiss capital, is not only the country’s administrative center, but also a surprisingly strong European destination for concerts and sporting events. The city combines an elegant vibe, a compact center, and top-tier organization, making a night out as enjoyable as the stay itself. With a varied range of accommodation and dining – from hotels in the historic core to practical options nearby – Bern is an excellent choice when you want to plan your trip and secure tickets without stress. Visitors often highlight the sense of calm, safety, and order, which adds an extra layer of ease to the whole experience.
One of Bern’s biggest advantages is its connectivity: the city transport network BERNMOBIL (trams and buses) and the commuter rail S-Bahn Bern make it quick to reach key arenas and stadiums without complicated transfers. If you arrive by train, Bahnhof Bern is the natural starting point for getting around the city and region, while flying in is convenient via Bern Airport (Belp), with an easy continuation by public transport. Thanks to the logical layout of lines and clear signage, it’s simple to match the event schedule with your arrival, check-in, and a short city stroll.
If you’re coming for an event, Bern also offers a great “tourist bonus” before or after the show. Wander through the Altstadt (UNESCO), beneath its iconic arcades and past the city fountains, then pause at the Zytglogge and on Bundesplatz to feel the city’s rhythm. For fresh air, a walk along the Aare River or a view from Rosengarten often becomes a highlight of the trip, while BärenPark and viewpoints over the old town round out Bern as a city that blends events with authentic Swiss charm.
