A unic experience in Switzerland
Well of course the Zytglogge is a very interesting building ,but if by chance you stay in Bern after ash Wednesday ,you can experience the" Bern Fasenacht." This is a big big block party ,which happens in the old town. Many bands are playing ,plenty of kids in fantastic costumes around ( not only Dumbledors) and a heck lot of fun. Of course there are food stands etc. This event is over 3 days with the most busy day on Saturday. For the very conservative people from Bern ,this is the time for fun and food. Do not miss the Muenster Platz just beside this great church .. So just relax walk the streets and have enjoy.

Nice Clock Tower
Clock Tower - Zytglogge is a landmark medieval tower in Bern, Switzerland. Built in the early 13th century, it has served the city as guard tower, prison, clock tower, center of urban life and civic memorial. This is as old as Bern. Despite the many redecorations and renovations it has undergone in its 800 years of existence, the Zytglogge is one of Bern's most recognisable symbols and the oldest monument of the city Once a city gate, the Clock Tower now attracts spectators from all over the world. We visited this as a part of a tour of old city of Bern. Important Landmark.
