Wander the pedestrian-only brick streets lined with shops, boutiques, water fountains, giant chess pieces, a climbing wall and restaurants.

A great place to lounge with a latte, take in fine food, or pick up that one-of-a-kind gift for someone back home.

Of course, no visit is complete without sticking a coin in the world’s largest cuckoo clock and then witnessing the emergence of Happy Hans, a yodelling, mustachioed man clad in short leather shorts, hoisting a beer stein. He has become quite tempermental in his old age, so he doesn't always come out.

Step away from the pedestrian area and unearth even more places to dine, antique stores and more...
