Sights in Solothurn

We start our tour through Solothurn at the Baseltor. The view through the gate into the old town is impressive. The gate frames the impression like a picture frame. We continue our walk passing the St. Ursen catheral. On the way back, we take a look inside. The architecture and the paintings are impressive.

Weekly market on the Märetplatz

And suddenly we are in the middle of the weekly market. It leaves nothing to be desired. Regional and fresh products from the fields. A sea of flowers, whether cut flowers or plants for the flower boxes. As far as the eye can see, people are milling around the market stalls. A great atmosphere.

The Zeitglockenturm is also located on the Märetplatz. It is the oldest building in Solothurn.

While walking through the old town, the many fountains catch our eye. Figuratively speaking. There are a total of 11 fountains, each with its own story.
