On your stroll through the side streets of Aarau’s old town centre, you should definitely make sure you look upwards - the more than 70 richly ornamented eaves adorning the roofs of the houses are a sight worth seeing. Aarau has this unique attraction to thank for the fact it is known as the “City of Glorious Gables”. In the old town centre, you will also find a lot of stores where you can shop to your heart’s content, and restaurants where you can relax and cosily watch the world go by.
