Discover Biel’s old town with a local guide and immerse yourself in its history, legends and special places such as the famous Roman spring.
At the heart of the modern city, Biel/Bienne hides an old town shaped by centuries of history and still sparkling with its medieval charm. A guide from Tourisme Biel Bienne Seeland leads you through its narrow lanes, small squares and the stories that have defined the urban landscape for generations.
The tour begins at the “Bäsetöri”, a wind-swept passageway that takes you straight into the medieval core. As you wander through the atmospheric alleys, you discover the origins of the name “Biel/Bienne”, the meaning of the Roman spring and the eventful past of the town, once owned by the former Prince-Bishop of Basel.
Among the highlights stands the Ring – the oldest square in the city and often described as its romantic heart. Between local anecdotes and historical tales, participants enjoy a genuine journey through time, enriched with regional insights and unexpected discoveries.
