Bundesplatz
The public square in front of Parliament hosts markets, events, and a seasonal water display. The market and water display alter the square by season.
Why go
Visit the civic square for its open view of the Federal Palace and the everyday use of a political setting. A market day changes the experience; the square is distinct from touring the Parliament Building. The water jets and regular markets show how the square works as ordinary public space.
What to look for
Parliament facade, public square, and seasonal water jets.
Useful to know
Visit on a market day if stalls are the main draw.
