The Bundesplatz Fountains are a public water feature consisting of 26 ground-level jets — one for each Swiss canton — set into the granite surface of the square in front of Parliament. Active from April through October, they serve as a playful landmark and a summer gathering spot.
The water feature was installed in 2004 as part of a major renovation of Bundesplatz. Designed to transform the square from a parking lot into a public gathering space, the fountains operate without a visible basin — water drains through the granite slabs. They have quickly become one of Bern's most iconic modern landmarks.
