Biel's old town
Famous for its charming alleys, beautiful facades and venerable corporate houses, the old town is a privileged place in the heart of the city of Biel.
Most visitors come to Biel expecting a 19th century industrial city. However, many are surprised to find a medieval core that is still preserved.
The old town has remained authentic and full of charm. Galleries, antique shops and small stores alternate with restaurants, theatres and cafés.
The lively and colourful fruits and vegetables market takes place several times a week on the Place du Bourg and is an appointment for many people from Biel.
Every first Friday of the month, shops, theatres, galleries, restaurants and bars provide entertainment of a special kind in Biel's historic centre.
