The St. Ursen-Kathedrale stands majestically over the initial puzzles: constructed in eleven years, featuring eleven altars, eleven bells, and a staircase with steps in multiples of eleven — showcasing Solothurn’s lucky number in full baroque splendor.
At the Rathaus, decipher a facade where Gothic turrets blend with Renaissance staircases — a structure that took three centuries to reach its current form.
The Märetplatz unites the old town beneath the Zytglogge tower, whose astronomical clock has kept Solothurn on time since the 16th century.
The tour lasts approximately 2 hours, accommodates any group size, and is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
By the conclusion, you’ll find yourself checking every fountain and chapel for the number eleven.
