Minster Terrace

Intro
The Minster Terrace with its green spaces and large chestnut trees is perfect for picnics, playing and relaxing. The breathtaking view of the Aare river, the Alps and Bern’s Matte neighbourhood make the old churchyard a popular place to meet and hang out.
Old and young alike meet on the historic terrace of the Bernese Minster, lovingly called “Pläfe” by the locals: there are families with children having a picnic, elderly men playing boules, teenagers playing ping-pong, and couples enjoying the wonderful view of the greenish-blue Aare river and the high peaks of the Alps. The large chestnut trees and the many benches make the terrace a popular place to spend warm summer afternoons.
By the way: in order to get down to the historic Matte neighbourhood, locals use the “Senkeltram”, an elevator that takes adults directly from the terrace down to Badgasse Street in the Matte for CHF 1.20.
