Lonely Planet review

The 1902 Bundeshäuser, the home of the Swiss Federal Assembly, are built in an impressive Florentine style, and contain statues of the nation's founding fathers, a stained-glass dome adorned with cantonal emblems and a huge, 214-bulb chandelier. When the Parliament is in recess, there are hourly free 45-minute tours in different languages. During parliamentary sessions, you can watch from the public gallery. A passport or other national ID is always needed to gain entry.
