Thermal baths in Bern

Also spelled Berne

Bern, the Swiss federal city, is built on a loop of the Aare on the Swiss plateau. Bernaqua is out at Brünnen on its western edge, with brine pools, a nude sauna area and a Roman-Irish bath. The old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Bear Park on the bank of the Aare are about 6 km east.
