The Journey
Basel Munster
Dominating Basel's skyline, the Basel Munster is a magnificent Romanesque and Gothic cathedral built from red sandstone. Originally a Catholic cathedral, it became a Reformed Protestant church during the Reformation. Explore its impressive architecture, climb the towers for panoramic views of the city and the Rhine River, and discover the tomb of Erasmus of Rotterdam, a key figure of the Renaissance. The Munster's blend of architectural styles and rich history make it a must-see landmark in Basel.
Market Square (Marktplatz)
The Market Square, or Marktplatz, is the heart of Basel's Old Town. Dominated by the striking Rathaus (Town Hall), this bustling square is a vibrant hub of activity. Explore the daily market, where local vendors offer fresh produce, flowers, and regional specialties. Soak in the lively atmosphere, admire the colorful stalls, and experience the authentic flavors of Basel. The Marktplatz provides a perfect glimpse into the city's everyday life and is a wonderful place to people-watch and enjoy local delicacies.
Town Hall (Rathaus)
The Rathaus, or Town Hall, is a stunning 500-year-old building located in the Market Square. Its distinctive red sandstone facade, ornate turrets, and painted details make it an architectural masterpiece of the late Renaissance. Step inside the inner courtyard to admire the intricate murals and statues, and learn about the city's political history. The Rathaus is not only a functioning government building but also a symbol of Basel's rich heritage and a testament to its enduring spirit of civic pride. Its beauty and historical importance make it a must-see attraction for any visitor.
