The DOCK - we are a small bar in the heart of the barock-town Solothurn. The bar is situated directly at the river "Aare". The DOCK provides a landing stage and a nice deck above the river. You may also come by boat. The DOCK is a real bar and we provide a nice selection of beers on tap, excellent cocktails, a small variety of nice wines and of course a broad selection of international gins, whiskies, rums and all kind of spirits. We offer a small but delicious choice of snacks.

We visited this museum years ago. Since then, the 400-year-old building has been renovated as has the extensive displays of weapons, suits of armor and other artifacts that include a full circa 1775 military officer’s suit as well as skulls showing the damage done by medieval halberds and other weapons during battle. There are extensive collections of muskets, swords, spears and other nasty weapons from the medieval period through the 19th and early 20th centuries. Visitors can handle a halberd and try on an original suit of armor and helmet. Since our visit, the number of muskets on display has unfortunately been scaled back...unfortunately because we didn’t see any flintlock jaeger rifles, which we loved to see in abundance during our last visit. But overall the revocations are very well done!! We definitely recommend this museum!!!

Must see when you are in Solothurn. A pity that the tower wasn't open when we were there. Check-out the concerts.

My girlfriend and I have now completed all 4 rooms at AdventureRooms Solothurn, including the yet to open Legend of the Ring (which we got to test run)! The people working there are great and the rooms of a professional standard. The new Legend of the Ring game is really a lot of fun and of a medium difficulty with a lot of challenges to get through! I would rate it as my second favourite room in Switzerland at the moment. We definitely recommend this room to new and experienced players!
