Lion fountain

The Lion Fountain in the old town of Bern is a historical monument that has both cultural and artistic significance. It was built in 1543 and features a majestic lion perched on a pedestal. The fountain is one of the oldest fountains in the city and is therefore an important testimony to Bern's history. What is particularly remarkable is the detailed elaboration of the lion, which is influenced by the Renaissance approach to art.

There are numerous small cafés and shops around the Lion Fountain that invite you to linger. You can also explore the immediate surroundings with its historic buildings and the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A visit to the Lion Fountain not only allows you to learn more about the history of Bern, but also to enjoy the city's unique atmosphere. It is an ideal starting point to discover the old town and get to know the local culture.
