Review & FAQ:

The pretty river-side town of Solothurn is located about an hour from Lucerne and is considered to be the finest Baroque town in the country. Touring the Old Town of Solothurn, which features no less than eleven extravagant churches and chapels and around the same number of ancient towers and fountains is a delightful way to spend a few hours. Highlights include the Ste. Urs Cathedral, which features beautiful stuccos. Once you have thoroughly explored the pedestrian Old Town you might like to visit the Natural History Museum, Schloss Waldegg or the amazing weapons collection in the Old Arsenal. Walkers, hikers and cyclist will find an extensive network of scenic trails close by.
