Old City of Berne, Switzerland - Towers and Buildings

Upload Photo

Crowning a hill pinnacle and river-hugged with the Aare, the medieval Berne retains a lot of the old time charisma present in stonework squares, clock towers and walkway buildings coating the walkways. The waterside modishness of Switzerland's capital patents itself in the winding cobbled streets, buzzing fountains, fairy story clocks and flamboyant covered arches, all showing a significant design lucidity characteristic for the 11th and 12th century urban concepts. Another claim to prominence that Bern can boast is Albert Einstein's previous apartment, the Muenster Cathedral and picturesque Rose Garden sporting grand vistas of the medieval township.
