In Baselʼs city centre, contemporary architectural
highlights stand alongside historical buildings, making
for a fascinating picture. A cross-section through
three centuries of architectural history awaits.
Your architectural journey through time will start out at the Museum
der Kulturen on historical Münsterplatz and lead on to the Kunstmuseum
with its much-admired 2016 extension. After a detour to picturesque
St. Alban-Tal, youʼll reach Barfüsserplatz, the lively heart of the city
centre, before finishing up with sweeping views of the entire city from
the roof of Clinic 1 on the University Hospital site.
