Among the city’s other historic sites is the Munster, a Gothic cathedral with a 330 ft tower. In the lower old town on a slope of the River Aare, a purpose-built Bear Park is the home of several bears, and you can watch them play, swim and fish by following paths down to the river bank. Bears are particularly significant to the city, being the mascot and emblem that appears on the city’s coat of arms.
