"“This small town on the River Aare is considered the most beautiful Baroque town in Switzerland,” says Meier. It’s also full of interesting sites to keep travelers busy and entertained. Old Town Solothurn, which doesn’t allow car traffic, has 11 churches and chapels, plus the same amount of towers and fountains. If you prefer museums, you’ll appreciate the Natural History Museum, the Blumenstein Museum, the Museum of Stones, and Old Arsenal, which has one of the largest weapons collections in Europe. Or, for those travelers who want to soak up the great outdoors, Meier says, “You can combine a visit with a cruise on the Aare or a hike up the Weissenstein.”" - Travel + Leisure Editors
