Overview of your Basel tour:

Where the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland meet is Basel. I invite you to discover this city where cultures meet and coexist! Join me as we tour through the heart of Basel, containing a mix of medieval buildings and modern Swiss architecture. You'll hear about the city's legends, its history, and the people who shaped it. Along the way, I'll show you contemporary Basel and tell you about the local festivals. You'll also find out about the city's reputation for art and humanism, starting with the publishing industry in the 1400s, and proudly continuing today with the international Art Basel fair. We can see some of the street art - it's not just graffiti. This tour helps answer questions such as: What is the difference between Klein Basel and Gross Basel
? Which sculpture was banned from the Market Square
? Where is the tomb of the only queen buried in Switzerland? How do locals cross the Rhine River? Who was Erasmus? and was he really "the last man who knew everything"
?
