City of Basel english
Where Switzerland, France and Germany meet lies Basel, at the heart of a trinational metropolitan area. In this unique location, the city has much to offer: an international flair, good schools, innovative research, a thriving economy, an excellent regional and international transport infrastructure, a rich cultural life and a high standard of living. As a border city with inhabitants from more than 160 countries, Basel is cosmopolitan despite its small size. Last but not least, Basel is the second-sunniest place in Switzerland.

Basel, Switzerland Travel Video
Basel is Switzerland's oldest university city. Historic landmarks of the city include the large market square with its richly decorated red sandstone town hall and the late Romanesque-Gothic cathedral. During a walk through the old town, past small boutiques, antique book shops but also shops of modern designers, a visit to the Läckerli Huus to try the traditional Basel honey cake is well worth your while. Basel is tradition-conscious and open-minded at the same time, a fact born out by several modern buildings designed by renowned architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Mario Botta, Diener & Diener and Richard Meyer.
Almost 40 museums make Basel the city with the highest density of museums in the country. Internationally known museums, such as the Basel Art Museum, the museum devoted to the iron sculptor Jean Tinguely, the Fondation Beyeler and the Museum of Cultures attract a great many visitors, as do several galleries and playhouses. Basel is among other things home to the symphony orchestra and the chamber orchestra as well as the musical theatre featuring international productions. And a wide range of classical and contemporary productions are shown on the stages of the Basel Theatre and the Playhouse.

24 Hour Guide to Basel, Switzerland
Art. Culture. History. Food. Luxury. The Rhine River. Basel has a lot going on and I had limited time to see it so I took in the highlights as fast as I could. My homebase was the Hotel Nomad, a trendy boutique with easy access to top sites like the Altstadt, or old city, the Marktplatz which has a farmer's market, Johann Wanner Christmas shop, the Kunstmuseum Basel, Fondation Beyeler and the Rhine River. We took river ferries to cross to Klein Basel, a funky neighborhood with a lot of great shops, cafes and of course, the notable Ueli Brewery.

Basel, Switzerland Travel Guide - City Hall of Basel
Take a tour of City Hall of Basel in Basel, Switzerland -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Walk through Basel's Marktplatz, and you can't help but be drawn to the splendor of the bright and beautiful Rathaus.
The Rathaus, or city hall building, was constructed in various centuries and in various styles, making it a true architectural fusion.
The middle section was constructed in the early 16th century, and the Art Nouveau towers on either side were added in 1904.
Sculptures and paneling colorfully recount the history of the city.
The outer walls of the Rathaus are adorned with beautiful murals, as is the inner courtyard.
Some buildings represent a mere point in history; the poetic Rathaus tells the story of the city of Basel.
What To Do In Basel Switzerland: My Top 8 Basel Attractions!
Learn more about Basel on my blog here:
What to do in Basel Switzerland? After I followed a local for a couple days, here's my top 8 Local Basel attractions in the city.
8) The first Basel attraction you can't miss is the Basel Minster or the Basel cathedral. This is the biggest landmark in the city. Most Basel city maps, magazines, and pictures feature this twin spire gothic cathedral.
7) The Rhine Ferry. This is a must see for Basel attractions. The ferry's are essentially pulled by rope across the Rhine river. It's probably the most fun you can have while crossing over the Rhine, and it's cheap too!
6) Mittlere Bridge. What makes this Basel city bridge so cool is what happens under the bridge. Locals love to sit under the bridge to BBQ, socialize, or just lay out. It's a great place to swim and kayak in the spring or summer.
5) Gate of Spalen. This is a rich historic Basel attraction. Basel has three city gates that still remain since the 1400's. The gate was a main entrance to Basel city for trading purposes.
4) Tinguely Fountain. Jean Tinguely is a famous Swiss artist and sculpture who gifted Basel city with this attraction. These mechanical structures now serve as famous attractions for Basel tourism.
3) Zivilstandsamt. A special Basel attraction for my local. This is where many locals celebrate their civil ceremony when they get married.
2) Offene Kirche Elizabethen. Have you ever heard of a church that also rents out space for parties? Well, that's exactly what this church does, and it's awesome! A beautiful venue and an important Basel city landmark.
1) City Hall. This bright red Basel city attraction serves as the seat of the Basel government and parliament. Walk inside to see it's beautiful courtyard and intricate decor.
Now you know what to do in Basel Switzerland, have fun and eat as much chocolate as you can!
