Why go
This street belongs to Bern’s 14th-century expansion, so it links the station area to the medieval core while carrying visible pieces of the city’s later history. The Church of the Holy Spirit marks its western end; farther along, the Pfeiferbrunnen gives the route a distinctive fountain stop.
What to look for
- The Church of the Holy Spirit stands near the street’s western end.
- Pfeiferbrunnen punctuates the arcade-lined shopping route.
- Historic buildings at Spitalgasse 36 and 38 are part of the street’s heritage.
Useful to know
- Walk east from Bahnhofplatz and pause at Pfeiferbrunnen before continuing toward the older core.
- The covered arcades make the street useful on a wet day, though crossings remain outdoors.
