Under the steep rooftops of Aarau lie secrets smuggled through shadowed passageways and whispered in candlelit libraries. Medieval spires scrape the sky, but history hides in the cobbled veins below.

This self-guided audio tour lets you wander the city at your own pace, unlocking stories tucked behind sandstone facades and within silent sanctuaries—narratives even locals forget.

Did a single book in the Aargau Cantonal Library ever threaten an entire regime? Whose footsteps still echo inside the City Church after dark? Which unsuspecting traveler on Bahnhofstrasse became part of a scandal that changed Aarau’s fate forever?

Follow winding lanes as city walls crumble away to reveal tales of rebellion and revelation. Hear the clang of revolution, the hush of forbidden knowledge, the pulse of lives forever altered in Aarau’s heart.

Uncover what the rooftops are still hiding. Your journey into Aarau’s untold past begins now.
