Biel/Bienne is a bilingual city in Switzerland, located at the eastern end of Lake Biel. The city's dual name reflects its bilingual heritage, with Biel being the German name and Bienne the French name. It is the largest bilingual city in Switzerland where both German and French are official languages.
The city has a rich industrial heritage, particularly in watchmaking, and has been an important center for the Swiss watch industry since the 19th century. This industrial legacy is reflected in its cultural institutions and architecture. The old town features well-preserved medieval buildings, while the newer parts of the city showcase modernist architecture from the 1950s and 1960s.
Beyond its industrial significance, Biel/Bienne serves as a cultural bridge between the German and French-speaking regions of Switzerland, hosting various cultural events and exhibitions throughout the year that celebrate both linguistic traditions.
