Over 6km (3.7 miles) of covered arcades in the Old Town shelter many of Bern's upmarket shops and boutiques, protecting shoppers from rain and snow. The main shopping streets are the Spitalgasse and Marktgasse.

Globus, Spitalgasse 37, is a very popular department store offering everything from fashion and cosmetics to home accessories and luxury food. Another department store, Loeb, Spitalgasse 47-57, is particularly good on upmarket fashion.

There are food and flower markets on Tuesday and Saturday mornings at Bundesplatz, Münstergasse, Parliament Square and Bärenplatz (daily from May to October on Bärenplatz). From March to December on every first Saturday of the month there is a crafts market on the Minster platform, and a flea market takes place on Mühleplatz in the Matte every third Saturday of the month from May to October.

Shops are usually open Monday to Wednesday 0900-1900, Thursday 0900-2100, Friday 0900-2000 and Saturday 0900-1700. Most shops are closed on Sundays.
