Read and get inspired
Why locals love it
There are several Pestalozzi libraries in the city, all of them are family friendly places to read without the deadly silence of a university library. They have a great selection of books, cartoons, movies and games which can be borrowed for a moderate annual fee.
Why you should visit it
You can spend as much time here reading as you like. The Pestalozzi library Altstadt is conveniently located in the old town, ideal to take a quick break on your city tour. The Pestalozzi libraries are also a good way to spend a rainy afternoon browsing through art books, getting inspiration what to cook or where to travel next.
Special tip
There is a tiny balcony on the first floor which makes a nice hideout in summer.
