Zytglogge Clock Tower

Zytglogge Clock Tower - Photo by Shawn M. Kent1 / 1

Zytglogge stands at the heart of the Bern's Old Town. Dating back to the 13th century, the tower features an elaborate astronomical clock with mechanical figures that perform a brief show just before the hour, drawing the attention of tourists and photographers alike. Its ornate façade, aged stonework, and richly detailed astronomical dial offer excellent material for close-up architectural shots, while the cobbled streets and historic buildings surrounding it create a vibrant setting for wider street scenes. Best visited in the morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds, Zytglogge is easily accessible on foot and a must-visit for capturing the historical charm of Bern.
