Solothurn Switzerland - 11 Reasons Why To Visit & Chocolate Factory Tour | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids

Join us for a tour of Solothurn Switzerland!

Solothurn is a vibrant town of over 16,000 inhabitants. It’s located on the German side of Switzerland and is regarded as the finest Baroque town. You can see how the graceful Italian influences blend with French charm and German practicality. Solothurn is 30 kilometres east of Biel-Bienne, alongside the river Aare and at the southern point of the Jura mountain range.

From the 16th to the 18th centuries, the Catholic town of Solothurn was the residence of the French king’s ambassador and that’s why most of the buildings in the historic part of Solothurn date back to that period. For this reason Solothurn is also known as the "Ambassador's town".

The number eleven has special significance in Solothurn: it was the eleventh canton to join the Swiss Confederation, the Old Town has eleven churches and chapels and the same number of fountains and towers. Additionally, the St Ursus Cathedral took eleven years to build, has eleven altars and bells, and its Italian-style staircase in front have levels between every eleven steps. Unsurprisingly, Solothurn's local beer is also called Öufi –Bier (DE) or "Eleven Ale". There is also a boat called the Öufi-Boat (DE) and a popular bar called Eleven (DE).

Join us as we also visit the Camille Bloch Chocolate Factory and enjoy some truly delicious Swiss Chocolate!

Your videos have the sharpest filming. I think it must be the camera and skills of the photographer. What kind of camera do you use? Noticed the girls are really growing up so much. I love how they each have such separate and unique personality styles. Another great video!

I am new to your channel. I have even forgotten who has mentioned it, however I love what I have seen so far. Maybe I don't understand, but do you have to pay to get into the gift shop? Anyway watching from Florida, USA

[nighhtmre]

aww its so cute to see you in my home city🥺🙏🏼

[charlesevisser]

Hi just popping by to say still love your videos :)

[luisamel]

LOL ... great video ...
Switzerland ... no Skyscrabers ... indeed especially in Solothurn :-) the town walls and towers ...
an Arms shop is neither typical for Switzerland, nor something which they earned from Germany (would be a bad joke indeed)
but once again ... it is so very interesting how you saw these countries with your cultural background. which is very different from locals or even "near-by" foreigners. I hope very much that you took many experiences with you. and do remember each single site and its little specials.

PS: I forgot to ask ... the video says Nov 2018 ... but you walked around dresed like in Summer. was it really that warm in Nov???

[eisenjeisen]

Thank you so much for beautiful video, and you make me love you so much, bye bye with love Jerome from Florida

After you said chocolate, all I heard was.... (I can't remember).

[lupistana]

mi sembra tutto un po' freddo e squallido, forse mi sbaglio, ma non vedo nè sento
il calore di questo Paese...
