Welcome!
Basel is a place of exciting contrasts.
Contrasts such as masterpieces of contemporary
architecture set against the
well-preserved Old Town, or the wonder -
ful harmony between the city’s cosmopolitan
flair and vibrant traditions.
And although classical modernism and
street art may seem like they are worlds
apart, both have a prominent place in
Basel. We are in flux, constantly reshaping
ourselves. So every time you come to
Basel, you will discover something new.
In the pages of this booklet, you will
find a treasure trove of information and
inspiration, including exclusive tips from
locals that will make your visit unforgettable.
I therefore invite you to read on
and dis cover the many different facets
of our city!

Basel is art
Basel is the perfect place to embark on a
fascinating journey through the world of art.
With its many museums, the world’s largest
art fair and a lively, young art scene, Basel
is a small city with a big cultural scene that
attracts visitors from across the globe.
The profound connection between the
people of Basel and the fine arts began
with the establishment of the Kunstmuseum
in 1661. The exhibition, which now features
over 300,000 works from across eight centuries,
is considered the oldest public art
collection in the world – quite impressive!
But that’s only the beginning. Art aficionados
will be kept busy for days in Basel, whether
with contemporary works, antique sculptures,
cartoons or even teddy bears.

Basel is history
If ever there was a city that tells a story,
that city is Basel. Surrounded by modern
buildings, the well-preserved Old Town, the
three imposing city gates and the Cathedral
(Münster) continue to bear witness to
bygone days.
Basel’s attractive location on the Rhine and
the strategically important Münsterhügel
(Cathedral Hill) first attracted the Celts to the
bend in the Rhine in the Bronze Age, before
the Romans made Basel an important trading
centre. Later, after the founding of the first
Swiss university in 1460, the city became a
centre of the humanist movement and of
book printing.
What happens next in the story? It’s up to you
to decide what chapter you want to immerse
yourself in. One thing is certain: you will be
able to feel Basel’s history in every nook and
cranny of the city.
Local’s Tip
At the “Zunft” (“guild”) restaurants,
which are protected as historical
monuments, old traditions meet
innovative new gastronomic
interpretations.

Classic sights
In Basel, you don’t have to look long to find
historical places of interest. You will find them
wherever you go. For example, it would be
impossible to walk through the Stadtmarkt
and miss the magnificent Town Hall behind it.
And however you cross the Rhine – whether
you go over the Mittlere Brücke bridge or
take a charming ferry ride – these are routes
that have been connecting Grossbasel with
Kleinbasel for a century or even for several
centuries.
Local’s Tip
At Acero – right next to the
bridge on the Kleinbasel
side – you will find exquisite
home-made gelato.
26
Mittlere Brücke
The original Mittlere Brücke (middle bridge)

Trendy areas
If you love good design, you will make slow
progress on the route from the Marktplatz
up Spalenberg. That’s not so much down to
the incline as it’s down to the many beautiful
things you are sure to find in the small shops
here. If you love experimental design, urban
art and events that are far from mainstream,
Kleinbasel is the place for you. The Reh4
organization gathers about 50 shops, cafés,
bars and galleries with surprising concepts
behind them.

Basel is experiences
Do you want to experience something
special? Then you have come to the right
place. Amid the unique atmosphere of the
Carnival in Basel, you can drive the winter
away together with the “Waggis”. And on
a hot summer’s day, let yourself be carried
along by the river’s gentle current.
In the warmer months, this much-loved
tradition is hard to resist. After all, what
could be better than cooling off with a
swim in the Rhine and admiring the historical
backdrop of the city as you float by?
People here know how to enjoy life!
So do as the people of Basel do and
discover for yourself why it’s so fun.

Events
Basel never stands still. There is always
something going on. At the start of the year,
everyone is on tenterhooks waiting for the
three-day carnival. And in summer, the sound
of the Scottish bagpipes brings people from

(autumn fair) is more than just romance
on the Ferris wheel and an adrenaline rush.
For foodies and gourmands, the many tasty
specialities on offer are the main attraction
here at Switzerland’s oldest and largest fair.
And if you are on your way to the Christmas
market, the Christmas lights on the streets
and alleys will have you in a festive mood
before you even get there.
