Die Basler Altstadt hat eine architektonische Vielfalt zu bieten, die ihresgleichen sucht. Die Mittlere Br\u00fccke<\/a>, wie sie heute steht, wurde 1905 fertiggestellt. Ihre Vorg\u00e4ngerin stand aber bereits um 1220. Von der Br\u00fccke hat man einen beeindruckenden Blick auf Basels Skyline und das Basler M\u00fcnster. Unser M\u00fcnster erhebt sich seit \u00fcber 800 Jahren anmutig \u00fcber die Stadt. Definitiv ein Must-see! Sie k\u00f6nnen die imposante Kirche und den Kreuzgang besichtigen und w\u00e4hrend der \u00d6ffnungszeiten des M\u00fcnsters \u00fcber die 250 Stufen die T\u00fcrme erklimmen \u2013 die Aussicht ist es auf jeden Fall wert! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die\u00a0Pfalz<\/a>, das ist die Terrasse hinter dem M\u00fcnster und fantastischer Aussichtspunkt. Mit Blick \u00fcber Kleinbasel, den Rhein, zum Schwarzwald und den Vogesen sollten Sie hier eine Pause einlegen!\u00a0Das\u00a0Spalentor<\/a>\u00a0war eines der urspr\u00fcnglich acht Stadttore, die zur \u00e4usseren Mauer geh\u00f6rten. Mit seiner Lage an der wichtigen Handelsstrasse Richtung Elsass wurde dieses Tor von vielen H\u00e4ndlern und Reisenden durchquert. Das ist wohl auch der Grund, warum es eines der sch\u00f6nsten und pr\u00e4chtigsten Stadttore der Schweiz ist. Ein Gl\u00fcck, dass es die Jahrhunderte \u00fcberdauert hat! Unser beachtliches und reich verziertes Rathaus ist auf jeden Fall ein Hingucker. Auch der\u00a0Marktplatz<\/a>\u00a0davor ist durchaus sehenswert: Beim Schlendern \u00fcber den Markt und dem Verkosten unserer Leckereien k\u00f6nnen Sie in unseren Alltag eintauchen. Touristisch gesehen eines der sch\u00f6nsten unter unseren Quartieren, l\u00e4dt Sie das St. Alban-Quartier, auch als kleines Venedig Basels bekannt, zu einem gem\u00fctlichen Spaziergang ein. Durch enge G\u00e4sschen vorbei an uralten H\u00e4usern und M\u00fchlen, und immer wieder ist Wasser in Sicht. Kleine B\u00e4chlein, von M\u00f6nchen gegrabene k\u00fcnstliche Kan\u00e4le, und nat\u00fcrlich der Rhein. Romantik pur!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Home to 40 museums, the city of culture for connoisseurs has the highest concentration of museums in the country. Basel also has a beautiful Old Town, modern architecture, and the Rhine \u2013 an inviting spot to rest a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/strong>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<\/a> and the late Romanesque-Gothic cathedral<\/a>. During a walk through the old town<\/a>, past small boutiques, antique book shops but also shops of modern designers, a visit to the “L\u00e4ckerli Huus<\/a>” 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. Basel is widely regarded as Switzerland’s cultural capital, and with good reason: in this city you will encounter art at every turn, whether you stroll through the beautiful Old Town or visit one of almost 40 museums. What’s more, Basel also features top-class modern architecture just waiting to be discovered on a city tour. Basel’s secret landmark is the Rhine. People relax in the charming buvettes – the lovingly designed, small open-air gastronomic establishments – or let themselves be carried along by the gentle current in the river. On a hot summer day, there is hardly anything more beautiful than cooling off by swimming in the Rhine while watching the backdrop of the city pass by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basel\u2019s central location, first-class public transport connections and modern infrastructure make it a leading venue for trade fairs and conventions. The Congress Center Basel, located right in the middle of the city, is the largest and most modern convention centre in Switzerland. Basel is located in the heart of Europe, straddling the Rhine. The city is at the centre of the idyllic area where the borders of Switzerland, Germany and France converge. Getting here is easy, with the EuroAirport only around 15 minutes from the city centre. Rail passengers can arrive at either the city\u2019s SBB railway station or the Basel Badischer station operated by Deutsche Bahn. The city\u2019s proximity to the border means that visitors can also arrive by TGV and ICE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Charmant wie eh und je Die Basler Altstadt hat eine architektonische Vielfalt zu bieten, die ihresgleichen sucht.

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<\/a>, the museum devoted to the iron sculptor Jean Tinguely<\/a>, the Fondation Beyeler<\/a> and the Museum of Cultures<\/a> 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.
Basel is a green city. The Botanical Gardens<\/a>, the Merian G\u00e4rten<\/a> and the banks of the Rhine are perfect places to relax and linger for a while. And the Etoscha House at the zoo Basel<\/a> offers spectacular insights into the Namibian Savannah.
You can easily explore Basel on foot or by bike. There are four Rhine ferries<\/a> that connect Grossbasel with Kleinbasel.
At nearby Augusta Raurica<\/a> near Augst impressive ruins and a great many finds at the museum bear testimony to the busy lives of the Romans in the region in the past. The charming countryside of the Basel region with its many cherry trees in spring boasts a particularly beautiful display of blooms. Germany and France, the Black Forest and Vosges Mountains are only a stone’s throw away from the border city of Basel.
The yearly Fasnacht<\/a> (Carnival) is the most important celebration for the people of Basel. On the Monday following Ash Wednesday the city rises with the “Morgenstraich”. At four in the morning on the dot all the lights in the city go out and a colourful and brilliant procession through the streets of the city begins.
