According to legend, if its 74 m tower is unfinished it is because there was no money left. A jewel of Gothic architecture, the cathedral was built between 1283 and 1490. It is possible to climb the 365 steps to the top of the 74 m high tower and discover the entire town.
The 76 metres high tower was the hightest building in Switzerland until 19th century. The main doorway is adorned with bas-relief , done in the 14th century , rapresenting the Last Judgement. Wonderful inside with stained-glass windows that create a very special atmosphere.

Gruyères Castle has stood proudly atop a verdant hill in the heart of Switzerland since the 13th century. Surrounded by the magnificent panorama of the Alpine foothills, the medieval fortress houses prestigious collections that bear witness to its long and rich history. The treasures to be found within its walls include the capes of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the intricate stained-glass windows dating from the Middle Ages; the frescoes commissioned by the bailiffs under the Ancien Régime; paintings by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and the troubadour decorations of the Salle des Chevaliers, created at Gruyères in the 19th century by a colony of passionate artists. From its ramparts to its French-style gardens, from the guard room to its romantic salons, Gruyères Castle takes you on an adventure through eight centuries of art, history and legends.
We loved the small town and the walk from the train stop to the castle. It has an authentic vibe to it and the surroundings are even better than the castle. If you came by train, the bus up the castle and back will be free for you.

In a Winter´s day we went to the Moleson, the most famous mountain in Gruyere. There was snow, but not enough to skiing. The Funiculaire was full of people who want to see the landscape from the high. It´s a marvelous sight, as the day was clear, we could see even the Montblanc, in the boundary with France.

When in Murten, be sure not to miss a walk on the city walls. Access is free and even your four-legged best friend is allowed to go with (well, I had to carry her up - English Bulldogs have short legs). The walls, dating from even before the 12th Century (but finished much later), are well preserved and offer fantastic views over the town and the countryside. But be careful, some sections start to crumble a bit on the edge, so check your steps. It's open from dawn to dusk (not the other way around...that would be a bar in Mexico). It's suprising and refreshing that this is a free sight. But I wish people would be more respectful and not leave their marks here (names carved in the wood and walls, garbage on the floor). A must-do in Murten.

The first bridge of the city Originally, the pont de Berne would have been supported by timber trestles. The bridge as it stands today dates from 1653. The central stone pillar and deck were replaced in 1853-54,and its roof in 1885. The three bridges in Fribourg Old Town (Bern, Milieu and St-Jean) all date from the mid-13th century, almost 100 years after the city was founded by Berthold IV of Zähringen (1157). Before the pont de Berne was built, travellers had to cross the Sarine by boat. In those days, the water lapped against the cliffs on which the former Augustine monastery overlooking the car park stands. In 1340, the bridge was sawn down to ward off an attack by encroaching Bernese invaders. The pont de Berne is the last remaining covered bridge in Fribourg.
recommended bridge in the old town of fribourg. very easy to get to and is still very much used by cars frequently
