Three recreation areas are situated right outside of Solothurn’s city gates: The Weissenstein – the “local’s” mountain and excursion destination, Buechibärg – a respite in the midlands, and the Thal Nature Center – a certified state park.

Why wander around in the distance when the good things are right in front of you? Discover Solothurn and all the treasures waiting or you at the foot of the Ambassador City.

Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by a big city. You won’t find an easier and more pleasant place to find all the attractions, culture, fine dining, local’s secrets and hidden discoveries that a big city has to offer, scaled down to a manageable and quaint size, than in Solothurn. Discover Solothurn – the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland. Take a walk around. You’ll never tire of her charm.

Take a stroll through the cobblestone streets and let yourself be swept away with the magic of the French flair and Italian grandiose. Streetside cafes, bars and stores are waiting for you to take a look inside and stop for a minute. The Aare River flows through the middle of the city and is surrounded by restaurants on it’s banks. Stop for a minute or more and enjoy a drink, a snack, or a meal while the river rushes alongside.

Best of all – everything that the big city offers but without the hustle, bustle, and stress of the city rush. Even better – nature right in front of your door!
