Aarau Switzerland - Birthplace of Frey Chocolate & The Habsburg Empire | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Aarau, the capital of the Canton of Aargau, is located on the River Aare to which the town and canton owe their name.
Aarau is located by the southern foot of the Jura foothills in the centre of the big city triangle of Zurich, Basel and Lucerne. The central location was recognised early on which is why Aarau for a brief few months in 1798 was Switzerland's first capital and home to Switzerland's first Houses of Parliament.
The charming old town boasts the most beautiful eaves, the so-called «Dachhimmel» which predominantly date from the 16th century when the town underwent considerable extension, are a special feature of the old town of Aarau. It's for this reason that Aarau is regarded as the town of beautiful gables.
Aarau continues to display an appreciation of art: the Aargau Art Museum featuring an extension designed by the famous architects Herzog & de Meuron offers architecture and art exhibitions setting high standards. The «Naturama», Aargau nature museum, is not your run-of-the-mill museum: animals, plants, exciting video films highlight the interaction and areas of conflict between nature and man in Aargau.
The Roggenhausen Wildlife Park has wild animals in their natural habitat as well as a Nature Trail. Cycling and walking trails alongside the River Aare and the Jura slopes provide the perfect opportunity for some pleasant physical exercise. But to see the people of Aargau really enjoying themselves you need to come to one of the local and historic traditional events, such as the «Maienzug» in July, the «Bachfischet» or «Rüeblimärt».
The Canton of Aargau boasts a great many castles, including some of Switzerland's most impressive such as the Lenzburg, the Hallwyl Water Castle and the Habsburg Castle - main residence of the famous dynasty from the the 10th century onwards. And Brugg, Baden and Zurich are a very short journey away. The Vindonissa Museum offers an opportunity to discover traces of the Romans and Windish is home to the biggest and best-preserved amphitheatre in Switzerland. And there are also a lot of historic towns, such as Bremgarten, Zofingen and others, to visit in the Canton of Aargau.

Zurich Switzerland Travel Guide - Top Things To See & Experience | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Join us for a walk in Zurich Switzerland!
Did you guys know that Switzerland is declared to be the happiest place in the world, according to The World Happiness Report issued by Sustainable Development Solutions Network for United Nations? And to top it all Zurich is the city with the best quality of life in the world.
It’s the largest city in Switzerland but on a world scale it’s rather small. With only about 400,000 inhabitants, Zurich is not even the capital. The capital is Bern. The Swiss have deliberately avoided naming a capital city in order to keep the power of each canton (federal state) in balance. This is because the cantons were originally sovereign states and they were united as equals when Switzerland was constituted and they still have a strong degree of independence. The cantons are governed at the federal level, but also have their own constitutions, parliament, government, and courts.
Another interesting thing about Zurich is that only two thirds of its residents are actually Swiss citizens. Germans and Italians make up the next largest population groups, which is part of the reason why the city, as almost all Switzerland speaks four languages: German, Italian, English, and French

Albert Einstein in Aarau, Switzerland
While born in Ulm and raised in Munich, Albert Einstein moved to Aarau, Switzerland in 1895 under the advisement of the principle of the Polytechnic to attend the Argovian Kanton School. His legacy is honored in many ways in this region of Switzerland today. In this video, you will get a feel for Aarau beginning with the central railway station (Bahnhofplatz). You can also see the Kanton school, which has now been named the Albert Einstein Haus. Inside you will see a sculpture of him to honor his work. From there, the video takes you to Laurenzvorstadt 119, the house where Einstein lived as a guest with the Winteler family. While living there he fell in love with the daughter, Maria. Other landmarks paying homage to this famous physicist are Einsteinplatz with the restaurant Einstein, Einstein sculpture in the pedestrian subway between post office and railway station, and Albert-Einstein-Weg along the river Aare all of which you will see in this video.
Ostrava Czech Republic - A Gem To Discover and Unique City To Explore | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Ostrava is the 3rd biggest city in the Czech Republic and the government center of the Moravian-Silesian Region. The town is located in the north-east part of the country and it is home to more than 300,000 people.
The city was founded in 1267 but in the Second World War, Ostrava was bombarded quite heavily. The after-war reconstruction created a number of beautiful and architecturally supreme buildings that were all different in style and functionality.
If you ever have a chance to visit this beautiful city you will notice that street art is nearly everywhere! We really loved this about Ostrava. In the city center there’s a large mural on a disheveled building. It’s called the Madonna “Ostravica” and it’s the largest street art piece in the Czech Republic. It was created by the famous American street artist Nils Westergard in 2016 over a weekend. He did this in order to help the new owners of a building in a dismal shape, which used to house a shopping center, but is now being transformed into a center for culture
