Aarau's old town is a great place to linger, especially on beautiful summer evenings. There are many restaurants with outdoor seating. But you can also just stroll through the alleys, admire the open city stream or visit the filming locations of The Undertaker.

It's worth visiting and walking around with your eyes open. The city is spruced up.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Aarau is a medium-sized town and municipality in the Swiss canton of Aargau. It is the capital of this canton and also of the Aarau district. The town is located 39 kilometers southeast of Basel, 38 km west of Zurich and 67 kilometers northeast of Bern (as the crow flies).

The town on the right bank of the Aare lies on the northern edge of the Swiss Mittelland and at the transition to the Jura Mountains. The western city border also forms the border with the canton of Solothurn. Aarau has a good 21,000 inhabitants, making it the most populous municipality in the canton. Around 80,000 people live in the tight agglomeration, and a good 220,000 in the Aarau economic area.

Founded between 1240 and 1250 by the Counts of Kyburg, Aarau was granted city rights by the Habsburgs in 1283. From 1415, Aarau was a subject town of Bern and, after the introduction of the Reformation in 1528, one of the Diets of the Swiss 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 cantonal capital since 1803 and has since fulfilled numerous central functions as an important administrative, commercial and service center. In 2010, the neighboring Rohr was incorporated.

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 late Gothic rows of houses.
