What makes Stories of Basel's Old Town a unique experience ?
In 1977 Jean Tinguely created sculptural machines in a shallow fountain where the stage of the old city theatre company once stood, and in the process gifted Basel a famous new landmark.
This church is nowadays home of the Historic Museum of Basel.
Together with the Mittlere Brücke, the Basler Münster (Cathedral) is probably the most famous landmark in Basel. With its red sandstone walls, colourful roof tiles and twin towers, no other building adorns the cityscape of Basel like the Cathedral.
The Museum der Kulturen Basel ranks among the leading ethnographic museums in Europe.
You will pass by the lively market of Basel.
The City Hall is the seat of the Basel government and its parliament. In the midst of the Old Town, it is particularly eyecatching with its red facade, the characteristic tower and playful frescoes.
