💡 Take the 'Escalator du Flon' at Rue de Genève — it runs up the cliffside and gives a sudden reveal of the cathedral above. Free and fun.
💡 The footpath along the south edge leads to a little bridge over the river Flon — great for photos of the old town without crowds.
💡 Walk down to the lakeside jetty at sunset for a clear view of the Alps across the water.
💡 Bring a picnic. The benches near the war memorial have the best shade and a distant lake view.
