Central Square, Biel

Highlight • Structure

The central square of Biel is the fulcrum with regard to the traffic routes. From here you can get directly to the train station or the shopping area. The market also takes place on this square and there are many stalls here for the Praderie. The UBS building, which is somewhat reminiscent of London, is striking. All bus lines cross here and the square is the beginning of the car-free pedestrian zone. The Schüss, Biel's "city river", runs under the square. If you follow the Schüss to the west, you come directly to the Strandboden on Lake Biel.

Biel/Bienne Railway Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Biel/Bienne train station
The Swiss Central Railway (SCB) began operations on June 1, 1857.
1857 – 1877
Biel becomes a railway junction: 1st provisional train station from 1857 – 1864 at Zentralplatz. 2nd train station from 1864 – 1923 at General-Guisan-Platz. 3rd train station from 1923 at the current location. This means that Biel can finally become an industrial city.

Aare-Beizli Orpund

Highlight • Cafe

The Aare-Beizli in Orpund is a good place for a bike break. However, it's worth checking the opening hours and what's on offer beforehand. There are regular events and culinary specials here. On Whit Monday 2025, these were strawberry waffles. Otherwise, there are Zahnderknusperli (sweet toothpaste) and hamburgers. And plenty of aperitif drinks. A lot of effort has gone into making the grounds beautiful, making the terrace a very pleasant place to sit.
