Last year, we already wrote about the impressive light show ‘Rendez-Vous’ in Bern. The light projection on the federal palace has turned into a real tradition. The first edition took place in 2011 and of course the event is back for 2023! Read below on this years’ Rendez-Vous Bern, that takes place daily Tuesday through Sunday until November 25 2023!
Rendez-Vous Bern 2023: Mystic
The 2022 edition of Rendez-Vous Bern took us to the most remote place of earth, Point Nemo. The show was focused on deep-sea creatures, with a giant octopus and seahorses dancing on the federal palace. This year, the light projection show theme is ‘Mystic’, and it definitely takes us on a journey to an unusual place again! Prepare to be submerged in a world of magic, with fairies, talking animals, singing trees and spectacular transformations projected on the Swiss federal palace.
The light show is about 25 minutes long and takes place several times an evening every Tuesday through Sunday from October 21 2023 until Saturday November 25 2023. The first show takes place at 19.00 o’clock every evening, with two additional shows projected on the Bundeshaus at 20.00 o’clock and 21.00 o’clock.
The event is free to visit and you have the best views from the Bundesplatz directly in front of the federal palace.
How to visit Rendez-Vous and practical info
