Bern Bern (Switzerland)

Bern is a Swiss Federal Railways station in Bern, Switzerland.

It is the nearest station to the University of Bern in the Länggasse quarter. There is a shuttle bus to Bern Airport from the station. Its IATA Airport Code is ZDJ as American Airlines codeshares on the Swiss Federal Railways service from Zurich International Airport in Zürich to Bern Rail Station. The station is also served by TGV, ICE and Cisalpino trains. The station is on the Olten–Lausanne line (known as the Mittellandlinie in German) and near the end of the Lötschberg line.

The station has recently (up to December 2003) been renovated and partially redesigned. It now contains Rail City, a shopping center open longer than the other shops in town, and over the weekend. This is possible as the shop opening laws of the city of Bern do not apply on Swiss Federal Railway property.
