Wunderschön dieser Platz

Das Rendez-vous am Bundesplatz ist jedes Jahr aufs Neue ein absolutes Highlight. Mitten in Bern verwandelt sich der Bundesplatz in eine große Bühne voller Farben, Bilder und Emotionen. Die Lichtshow ist bunt, inspirierend und unglaublich kreativ. Man merkt sofort, mit wie viel Liebe zum Detail gearbeitet wird, um Jung und Alt gleichermaßen zu verzaubern. Jedes Jahr schafft es die Inszenierung aufs Neue, Geschichten auf eine künstlerische und zugleich leicht zugängliche Weise zu erzählen. Die Projektionen sind beeindruckend, perfekt auf die Architektur des Bundeshauses abgestimmt und mit Musik untermalt, die für Gänsehaut sorgt. Besonders schön finde ich, dass die Veranstaltung kostenlos für alle zugänglich ist und so eine wunderbare Gelegenheit bietet, Kultur mitten in der Stadt gemeinsam zu erleben. Familien, Freunde, Touristen und Einheimische treffen sich hier und genießen zusammen die magische Stimmung. Das Rendez-vous am Bundesplatz ist für mich ein fester Termin im Jahreskalender. Es schafft es immer wieder, den Alltag für einen Moment vergessen zu lassen und ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zu zaubern. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die in dieser Zeit in Bern sind.

Macht Spass
