Where to stay in Grünes Quartier
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Two names, one district. Rooms in Grünes Quartier put the Kornhausforum within a short walk and leave the rest of the city's sights to be reached from a district that keeps only two entries of its own. The list of sights is short.
You suit it if an address beside the Kornhausforum matters more to you than a wider choice of streets across Bern.

About Grünes Quartier
What are the main landmarks in Grünes Quartier?
The Kornhausforum is the draw. Its rooms sit inside Grünes Quartier, and the register adds the Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Michael in der Insel to the same district. Kornhausforum and the convent are the whole of it.
What the district lists is enough for an afternoon rather than a full day, and anyone wanting more will be walking out into the rest of Bern for it.
What is the history of Grünes Quartier?
A convent name survives here. The Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Michael in der Insel is entered for Grünes Quartier without a founding year, and no charter, first mention or date of laying-out is recorded for the district around it. The Kornhausforum is undated as well.
What the file preserves is a pair of institution names and the two forms of the district's own name, Grünes Quartier and the Green Quarter.
Where is Grünes Quartier?
Bern's Grünes Quartier lies within the Canton de Berne, and its ground takes in the Kornhausforum and the Dominikanerinnenkloster St. Michael in der Insel.
