Solothurn is known as the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland with buildings from the 16th to 18th century. Besides the Solothurn Film Days, the Literature Days are also known throughout Switzerland. The Kulturfabrik Kofmehl, the city theater and four large museums can be found in the city, which is a cultural center within the region. Popular destinations in Solothurn are the Waldegg Castle, the Verena Gorge, the Weissenstein and the stork station in Altreu. In the old town you will find ornate fountains, impressive churches, pretty boutiques and numerous restaurants. An insider tip is the Vitaminstation, where you will find the best ice cream in town.
