Welcome!

Basel is a place of exciting contrasts.

Contrasts such as masterpieces of contemporary architecture set against the well-preserved Old Town, or the wonderful 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 discover 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.

And in summer, the sound of the Scottish bagpipes brings people from near and far to the Basel Tattoo. The Herbstmesse (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.

Local’s Tip In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Rheingasse transforms into Adväntsgass.

Excursions Of course the people of Basel love their city.

But if you thought there was nothing to see beyond the city limits, you could not be further off the mark.

Just a stone’s throw from here, you can discover the beautiful villages and landscapes the surrounding region has to offer. The popular German Black Forest is just under an hour away, and France’s charming cities of Strasbourg and Colmar are worth a visit any time, not to mention at Christmas.

Local’s Tip Check out the 24 stops along the Rehberger Weg from Riehen to Weil am Rhein.

The Black Forest A great destination for hiking, golf, skiing, mountain biking and water sports – the Black Forest is a truly breathtaking natural spectacle.

Alsace Excellent wines and regional culinary delights can be found just across the border, for example in picturesque Colmar or the nearby city of Strasbourg.
