New experience space in Bern combines culture, business and everyday life
The renovated Kaiserhaus is set to become a meeting place. Catering, shopping, meeting and learning spaces will come together under one roof. The facility in Bern will open its doors on 10 April 2026.
After six years of renovation, the Kaiserhaus in Bern’s Marktgasse is now ready for the public. According to a press release, the building is set to become a place of encounter and learning as well as a meeting place for fashion and local trade. The opening is planned for 10 April 2026.
The Kaiserhaus combines catering, retail and a place of learning in one. The gastronomic highlights include the Brasserie Kaiser, the Kaiser Deli and the Hof Bar. The retail spaces also serve to try out new economic, ecological and social models. In the Atelier & Manufaktur area, products are repaired or manufactured for spectators, for example. The Kiosk & Shop area is intended to provide space for pioneering brands as well as start-ups. Circular economy products will also be found here. And the Events & Pop-ups area will constantly have new offers for customers with exhibitions, workshops or a market.
In the Moneyverse, you can learn all about the history of money and the work of the Swiss National Bank(SNB). Lectures on science, culture and business complete the educational programme. Moneyverse is an initiative of the SNB in collaboration with the Bernisches Historisches Museum. It is intended to enrich the Kaiserhaus experience.
