Zytglogge (Clock Tower)

The 'Clock Tower' was built in the 13th century and was Bern's first city gate to the west. The famous astronomical calendar clock was created in 1530. Its mechanical figurines are set in motion on the clock's east side every hour. Join one of the tourist office's guided tours (at 1430 daily, none during winter months) to visit the interior. Booking in advance is recommended.
