Bauschänzli
|
|
After the city walls were pulled down, the peninsula was turned into a public park and has now been a popular beer garden for more than a century. Nor is that surprising, for the Bauschänzli is the perfect place to retreat from the stress of city life and enjoy a balmy summer evening of music, dancing and traditional Swiss food.
