Overview of your Basel tour

Basel, located at the intersection of 3 countries, is Switzerland’s third largest city and only port. It is a place where cultures meet and coexist! For years I have been exploring this city and invite you to join me on this tour I have created through the heart of Basel. I’ll be sure to show you both the “must see” sights and the neighborhoods. We’ll travel from the pristine city hall, through the Spalenberg, to the Barefoot Square. At the edge of old town we’ll take a look at the Concert Hall and Tinguely Fountain. We’ll walk through alleys and the main streets on our way to the Basel Minster. As we move you'll see a mix of the medieval and modern in the form of art, architecture and local culture. I’ll share the city’s stories and history. And tell you about the people who once walked the city streets. By the time we are finished you will know Basel and Switzerland in a new way.
