For individuals seeking a view into medieval times, Bern, Switzerland offers a city centre that is largely made up of this type of architecture. This has led to the city being recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. One of the most famous sites of the city is the Zytglogge, which is an elaborate clock tower that has moving puppets. There is also a Gothic Cathedral and a town hall, which dates back to the 15th century. One other place of interest is the bear pit, which has been extended and now contains four bears. If you would like to visit Bern, make sure you also check out budget flights to EuroAirport Mulhouse (MLH) in France.
