Festhalle Bern is more than a venue — it’s a modern, purpose-built event hub on the BERNEXPO site, designed for concerts, live shows, sports, and congress formats. Its modular layout makes it easy to scale from intimate setups to major productions, with a capacity of up to 9,000 guests.
Inside, the experience feels unmistakably “arena-level”: generous sightlines, production-ready infrastructure, and a layout that supports smooth crowd flow. Visitors typically appreciate the practical amenities, comfortable waiting areas, and the way entry and intermissions stay efficient even on busy nights.
Head straight to Papiermühlestrasse 50, Bern, Switzerland. Entrances are located along the exhibition grounds and are usually clearly signed by event type; the venue is a quick walk from Bern Wankdorf, with Guisanplatz Expo as the closest stop. If you’re driving, on-site BERNEXPO parking is the easiest option; for broader city transport tips, see the text further down the page.
