Aarau is nicknamed the “City of Beautiful Gables,” and it earns the title. Around 70 richly painted gable undersides – the famous Dachhimmel – overhang the lanes of the late-Gothic old town, a tradition dating back to the 16th century. You stroll through the Halde with its stately houses, stand beneath the 13th-century Obertorturm (the best-preserved medieval tower in Switzerland) and explore the Aargauer Kunsthaus, home to the most comprehensive collection of Swiss art. As the quiet capital of canton Aargau, Aarau is an authentic half-day escape well off the main tourist trail.
Instead of crowded connecting trains or hunting for a parking spot downtown, SWIVON drives you in a Mercedes V-Class straight from your Zurich address to Aarau’s old town – about 37 kilometres, door to door. No one in your group has to drive, an apéro along the way is welcome, and your chauffeur waits on site while you enjoy the city at your own pace.
We are your private chauffeur service, not a tour agency: admission to the Kunsthaus or the Naturama museum is paid easily on site. Everything to do with getting there, we handle for you – relaxed, discreet and at a fixed price.
