Xuan Tran2 months agoZytglogge is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in the old town of Bern, Switzerland. With centuries of history behind it, this ancient clock tower is not only a stunning piece of architecture but also a living testament to the city’s rich cultural heritage.
One of the most fascinating features is the mechanical show that takes place every hour — a charming spectacle of bells and figures that draws the attention of visitors and locals alike. Surrounded by cobblestone streets and beautifully preserved medieval buildings, the area around Zytglogge feels like stepping back in time.
Zytglogge is more than just a photo spot — it’s a place where you can truly feel the heartbeat of history in the middle of the city. If you visit Bern, this landmark is absolutely worth seeing.
Jasdeep Singh6 months agoThis the centre of town, the most famous Clock Tower, but missed the hourly strike. The street strech and side lanes just transform you into medieval times. There is famous Einstein museum, which too we missed on shortage of time. Bern city needs two days to justify.
Gabar675 (Gabar)5 months agoThis clock tower is one if the historic landmarks of Bern. The clock tower itself looks great from afar and from close by. From the inside the mechanism to the clock tower when it rings is impressive even though from the outside it’s a little underwhelming. There weren’t many people but it’s still pretty nice to come here to enjoy a coffee or just to see what happens every hour.Related categories
