      Aarau is a small town and municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau. It is the capital of this canton and at the same time of the Aarau district. The city is located 39 kilometers southeast of Basel, 38 km west of Zurich and 67 kilometers northeast of Bern (both as the crow flies).
      The city on the right bank of the Aare lies on the northern edge of the Swiss Plateau and at the transition to the Jura Mountains. The western city limits also form the border with the canton of Solothurn. Aarau has almost 21,000 inhabitants, making it the most populous municipality in the canton. Around 80,000 people live in the narrow agglomeration, and a good 220,000 in the Aarau economic area.
      Founded between 1240 and 1250 by the Counts of Kyburg, Aarau received city rights from the Habsburgs in 1283. From 1415, Aarau was a subject city of Bern and, after the Reformation was introduced in 1528, one of the meeting places of the Confederation. From March to September 1798, in the first year of the Helvetic Republic, Aarau was the first capital of Switzerland. Aarau has been the canton's capital since 1803 and has since then fulfilled numerous central local functions as an important administrative, commercial and service center. The neighboring Rohr was incorporated in 2010.
      The sights include the Schlössli and the Upper Tower from the 13th century, the late Gothic town church, the town hall and the old town with baroque gabled houses and rows of late Gothic houses.
