Its filigree spire sticks out above the picturesque roof landscape of the old town. The 100m church tower is the tallest in Switzerland and can be climbed by way of the spiral staircase with its 344 steps which leads to the tower's two gallieries. Magnificent views of the town and the River Aare at the foot of the church are a just reward for the effort.
How to get there:
The Münster is situated in the Old Town (UNESCO World Heritage) and can be reach from the train station in 5 minutes. The spire can be seen from afar.
