Lenzburg is a small city in northwestern Switzerland. It belongs to the canton Aargau. I worked and went to school for several years in Lenzburg. In this Swiss City Guide I will let you know 4 Things do when visiting in Lenzburg.
1. CASTLE OF LENZBURG
Visiting the castle of Lenzburg is one of the best things you can do in Lenzburg. You can even go inside the castle and discover almost every room in the castle. The view over the city is great. I have been to the castle of lenzburg several times. Even though Lenzburg isn’t a very crowded place there can be a lot of people on the weekend at the castle. I prefer therefore to go on weekdays.
2. OLD TOWN
Lenzburg has a very small old town and it reminds me to the old Town in Neuchatel just in smaller. but that makes it even more charming. A lot of local stores and restaurants invite you to take a break to recharge your energy.
3. MARKET
At the weekend there is a market in Lenzburg where you can find a lot of fresh food and other things to buy. It is always great to walk through all the places with different products.
There are also bigger markets throughout the year. For example the Christmas market or the spring market. If you can visit one of the bigger markets you should definitely do.
4. STAPFERHAUS
The Stapferhaus, located next to Lenzburg railway station, throws the spotlight on some of the biggest questions of our times: the issues shaping our lives, our country, and our planet. The exhibitions in the Stapferhaus take an entertaining approach, inviting visitors to take a closer, critical look at matters
The topic of the exhibitions is always super interesting and visiting is always great to learn new things playfully. Now the Stapferhaus is closed until the 30. October 2022 then they open to launch the new exhibition about “The nature and its money?” The last topic was about “Genders” as you can see topics are pretty different every time and that makes it a great experience with every visit.
5. ESTERLITURM
If you want to calm down a little bit then visiting the Esterliturm is a great idea. It is located slightly outside Lenzburg and it takes a short walk to get there. But arrived at the top of the Esterliturm the view you will get is insane. With a bit of luck, you are even able to see the swiss alps.
MY 4 FAVORITE RESTAURANTS IN LENZBURG
RESTAURANT ROSMARIN
The hotel Rosmarin is in the higher price range but offers you great food quality and you can enjoy the meals in a lovely swiss ambient. You can even order several course menus if you want to get surprised. If you want to spend a romantic evening with your love and the price doesn’t matter this is a great place to visit.
RESTAURANT ORCHIDEE
The restaurant Orchidee serves you a lot of food from eastern cultures. If you are looking for Vietnamese food in Lenzburg the restaurant Orchidee is the right place for you and it is located centrally at the corner of oldtown.
S’BÄRLI
The Restaurant s’Bärli is located in the old town as well and is known for being one of the best Tarte in the region. They also serve you classic swiss meals, but if you visit “s’bärli” I recommend you to try their Tarte, it tastes fantastic.
MCARTHURS
The McArthurs is the most known spot for drinking a beer or meeting friends for a drink. The Irish pub also serves you a lot of great food. If you want to have a drink after an exhausting day exploring Lenzburg the McArthurs is the right place for you located at the old town.
