Gruyères, Switzerland 4K - An astonishing medieval Swiss town

Follow us in an evening walking tour in the picturesque town of Gruyères, which gets its charm from the Middle Ages. The pedestrian town welcomes us to a gentle stroll, with its cobblestones and its fountains. The town gave its name to the region La Gruyère and its delicious cheese, Gruyère AOP.
In 2021, Gruyères was crowned one of the “Best Tourism Villages” by the World Tourism Organisation (WTO). The 13th century Castle of Gruyères, visible from a distance, dominates the town. The museum and bar of Oscar-winning artist H.R. Giger shows the fantastic works of the creator of Alien’s. The Tibet Museum offers visitors the opportunity to discover Tibetan Buddhist art in the setting of an old renovated chapel.
An important part in the picturesque overall scene in the little town is played by the several restaurants serving specialities from the Gruyère region: fondue, raclette and, especially, desserts made with the excellent Gruyère double cream.
