Bern

Of all Swiss cities, BERN (Berne in French) is perhaps the most immediately charming. Crammed onto a steep-sided peninsula in a crook of the fast-flowing River Aare, its quiet, cobbled lanes, lined with sandstone arcaded buildings straddling the pavement, have changed barely at all in over five hundred years but for the adornment of modern shop signs and the odd car or tram rattling past.
The hills all around, and the steep banks of the river, are still liberally wooded. With it's idyllic setting, it’s hard to remember that Bern – once voted Europe’s most floral city – is the nation’s capital.
Bern is a tiny city of barely 130,000 people and retains a small town’s easy approach to life. The attraction of the place is its ambience.UNESCO DECLARED Bern a World Heritage Site, placing it in the company of such legendary sites as Florence, Petra and the Taj Mahal.
The Ghanaian Embassy is based here and in conjunction with the vast Ghanaian community, will host the Official celebration of the 50th Anniversary in style.
