Kursaal Arena is the main multifunctional event hall within the Kursaal Bern complex, distinguished by its oval floor plan, large stage and spacious interior filled with natural daylight. The hall covers approximately 800 m², reaches a height of about 9.5 metres and can accommodate up to 1,357 visitors in a concert configuration. Its flexible stage and adaptable seating layouts make it suitable for concerts, cultural performances, gala events and other large-scale programmes.
Inside, the arena combines clear sightlines towards the stage with modern event and presentation technology, while panoramic glass surfaces create an open atmosphere with views across Bern and the surrounding mountain landscape. The exact seating configuration varies according to the event, so the number and arrangement of seats may differ. The wider Kursaal complex also includes social areas and dining options, allowing visitors to combine a concert or other performance with a meal, a drink or additional time within the venue.
Kornhausstrasse 3, Bern, Switzerland is located immediately beside the Kursaal public transport stop, making the entrance particularly convenient to reach.
