| Basel Overview |
| This city is the second largest in Switzerland and, situated on the Rhine River sharing dual borders with France and Germany, it is an important commercial and cultural centre. The large student population attending the Basel University, the oldest in Switzerland, gives the city a diverse and cosmopolitan atmosphere. The city is made up of the old and new towns, the former cobbled stoned and pedestrian-only where most sights can be found. One can feast the eye on Gothic or Romanseque architecture, some dating back to 44 BC, or visit museums or the cathedral. |
| Basel Essentials |
The Spalentor - The 700-year-old gate tower is the last remnant of the wall once encircling the city.
12th century Münster Cathedral - This magnificent red sandstone Cathedral adorned with Gothic spires and Romanesque St Gallus doorway is an instantly recognizable landmark.
Museum of Fine Arts - This excellent museum houses the largest collection of art in Europe, covers a wide range of religious, Swiss and modern art.
The 16th Century Town Hall - The town hall has been restored to resplendent grandeur with a stunning red façade and golden spire proclaiming its early architecture.
The Tinguely Fountain - Jean Tinguelys eccentric mind and zany sense of the ridiculous is crazily portrayed in this entertaining collaboration on machinery and water.
