Historic? But not old-fashioned. Solothurn's old town couldn't be more impressive. Romantic alleys, old cobblestones, a magnificent cathedral, excellent restaurants, and a cool shopping atmosphere that's second to none. Not renovated to death, but preserved as a livable place. solothurn-city.ch/de/solothurn-erleben/sehenswuerdigkeiten?gclid=CjwKCAjw29ymBhAKEiwAHJbJ8m5LYWdIJmcBMRBSqsjcRuXi4G2emOGCpdnyP0cduz0oE4It7YO40xoC430QAvD_BwE
