Located on the Rhine River near the borders of France and Germany, Basel contains the country's highest concentration of museums. The culture-centric city, site of the world's most influential art market each June, is also home to the lovely Munster Cathedral, made of red sandstone with a multi-colored tile roof. Green spaces abound, including the popular zoological gardens in the city center. Switzerland's largest site of Roman ruins, Augusta Raurica, are an easy day trip to the east.

The only red stone minster we have seen so far, this beautiful cathedral set in its own square is very impressive.We have climbed many minsters, duomos and cathedrals, so found this climb relatively easy. Great views from the narrow platform. Unfortunately, we didnt realise there were other steps to go higher. Maybe next time, as there is so much to see in Basel.

Church of St. Elisabeth was constructed between 1857 and 1865 as the first Protestant church to be built in Basel since the Reformation. Now it acts as a cultural meeting place for people from all walks of life, regardless of their origins, race or religion.

One of the most attractive fountains in the world! You could just stand and admire all moving parts making different figures with water. Attractive day and night. Also nice place for a rest in auiet park.

Tierpark Langen Erlen has gone through a process of modernization / refurbishment autumn 2018 and I paid it a visit just now the first time after the completion of work (probably before the end of 2018). Free entrance, strolling around and primarily being able to see local animals as well as having just some airtime whilst walking through the park ... it's a great recreational area for any time of the year. Best reachable by bike or public transport, the parking lot is way too small to go there by car. In summer, take some swimmsuit or transportable BBQ with you to enjoy more time next to the park at the river Wiese or in the woods of Lange Erlen. Beautiful leisure outdoor location.

Love that you can just calmly go into the city hall, with a doggie on a leash, and just sit and admire the stunning walls, murals and architecture. I love Basel. Everything there just works!

Nice selection of plants and trees from all over the world. The plant from hot countrys are in greenhouses which invite for a stroll. The highlight for me was the indoor pond with all kind of lillys.
