Visit the landmark of Bern's old town and experience the history and mechanics of the tower on a guided tour.
Every hour on the hour, Bern offers a fascinating spectacle: the medieval puppet show of the Zytglogge (clock tower). The dancing bear procession, the cheeky fool and the crowing rooster are a delight for young and old.
Anyone who would like to know more about the meaning of the statues, the mechanics and the history of the Zytglogge (clock tower) can take part in the one-hour guided tour.
The tour offers a special experience not only because of the unique atmosphere inside the tower. Here, time seems to have stood still many years ago, while heavy wooden beams and massive stone walls take guests on a journey into the past. In the historical rooms, only the steady ticking of the medieval mechanics accompanies visitors through history.
Also part of the tour: the climb to the viewing platform. A wonderful panoramic view over the alleys and roofs of the old town and the green surroundings awaits you.
Take a look behind the hands of the centuries-old clock mechanism, learn the history of Bern's landmark and enjoy the beautiful view from the tower - that's the Zytglogge (clock tower) tour.
