How to get to Kursaal Bern

Address: Kornhausstrasse 3, 3000 Bern

Due to the closure of the Kornhaus Bridge from February to November 2025, getting to Kursaal Bern is a little more complicated, but the location remains easily accessible. 

On foot or by bicycle, you can reach us as usual via the Kornhaus Bridge.

From Bern’s main train station, the replacement bus for tram line 9 (line 9A, direction Schönburg/Viktoriaplatz) will take you to Viktoriaplatz. At the roundabout, turn left onto Kornhausstrasse in the direction of the Kornhaus Bridge. After approximately 260 meters, you will reach to entrance to Kursaal Bern. 

By car, you can reach Kursaal Bern as usual from the Wankdorf motorway exit. From the city center, take the Lorraine Bridge, turn right up Viktoriarain to the Viktoriaplatz roundabout, then turn right onto Kornhausstrasse and again right onto Schänzlihalde to reach the parking area.
