Wandering the cobblestone lanes of Niederdorf costs nothing and is one of the most charming walks in Europe; plan for 1-2 hours at a child’s pace. Kids love spotting guild signs, medieval fountains, and peering into chocolate shop windows along Niederdorfstrasse. Note that some alleyways have uneven stone pavement that can challenge wide strollers — a narrow umbrella stroller or a carrier works better. Grab a Luxemburgerli macaron from Confiserie Sprungli on Bahnhofstrasse for about 2.50 CHF ($2.75 USD) each as a sweet reward. Public restrooms are available inside Hauptbahnhof roughly a 5-minute walk from the start of Niederdorf.
