1 Old City of Bern - Switzerland

1. Altstadt von Bern

Goethe said that Bern was the most beautiful town he had ever seen. This praise is justified. Built on a hilled peninsula surrounded by the river. Aar, the federal capital is a outstanding baroque ensemble of how the structure of a medieval town can be preserved while meeting the increasingly complex requirements of a modern city.   with its imposing rows of house and its impressive roofscape, best seen from the top of the Gothic cathedral, its arcades, cellars, towers and numerous fountains, it invites th take a stroll through the centuries.
