Biel old town is one of the most beautiful medieval cities of Switzerland. Some valuable historical monuments from the late gothic period that have long since disappeared from bigger cities still exist here. These treasures make Biel one of the best places to visit in Switzerland in terms of medieval heritage. This walking tour allows you to discover the main historical landmarks of the old town of Biel. The Source of the Romans, the Castle, the Castle square and the stunning, beautiful place of the Ring. But also the vicissitudes, the hopes and the victories of a  medieval city. Without forgetting the talking masonries and cobblestones, the hair-rising statues, the philosophy-teaching houses, and the most awfully bumbling Napoleonian officer. Do visit Biel: it’s worth the detour !
