Grüezi Basel
In Basel, Germany, France,
and Switzerland converge.
During a city tour, visitors can
experience and explore all
three countries. The city is
characterised by vibrant
traditions.
Basel is the third-largest city in Switzerland, following Zurich
and Geneva. Known as the cultural capital of Switzerland, Basel
captivates with its fascinating contrasts and warm hospitality. In
addition to numerous historical buildings, the canton of Basel is
home to around 40 museums.
The University of Basel was founded in the year 1460 and is
one of the oldest educational institutions in Europe. Basel is a
significant trade fair location. The pharmaceutical companies
Novartis and Hoffmann-La Roche have their headquarters in
Basel, establishing the city as an international centre for the
chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
The Basel Fasnacht (Carnival) attracts thousands of visitors each
year who participate in this unique festival. Stamina is essential,
as the celebrations last from 4 a.m. on Monday until 4 a.m. on
Thursday.
Ever since the year 2006, Basel Tattoo is a solid component of
the event calendar of Basel.

Basel Carnival
© Basel Tourismus
The Basel Carnival begins on Ash Wednesday with the
"Morgenstraich." At 4:00 a.m., all the lights in the city
centre are turned off, and a multitude of drummers and
pipers play the march piece Morgenstraich together.
This marks the loud and joyful start of the
Morgenstraich. With the command "Morgenstraich:
Forward, march!" what is probably the world's largest
pipe concert begins. The people of Basel, along with
thousands of guests, need a lot of energy, as the
celebrations last exactly 72 hours, ending again at 4:00
a.m. on Thursday with the Ändstraich. During the "three
most beautiful days," around 18,000 participants are
actively involved. Thus, the Basel Carnival is undoubtedly
the largest carnival celebration in Switzerland. The
organisers of around 500 groups, Guggenmusik bands,
floats, and other formations meet in the autumn to plan
the Basel Carnival.
In 2025, Morgenstraich will take place on March 10th.

Since the year 2006, Basel has hosted the world's
second-largest tattoo event. Under the patronage of the
Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and
Sport (VBS), the musical show takes place in the
courtyard of the Basel barracks. Each year, the
impressive performances captivate around 70,000
visitors.
As part of the free Basel Tattoo Parade, which takes
place outside the barracks, participants march past the
more than 100,000 applauding spectators. But the
Basel Tattoo event offers much more than just musical
entertainment. International ensembles from five
different continents perform at the show, presenting
musical delights from their home countries. Over 1,000
musicians captivate the audience with spectacular
performances that combine music, dance, and song.
In the year 2025, Basel Tattoo will take place from July
11th to 19th.

Fountain Dip
During the warmer months, Basel offers a unique
attraction: fountain bathing. In numerous historic
fountains in the old town and the outer districts, the
bathing fountains transform into a kind of communal
whirlpool. On sunny and hot days, thirsty bathers grab
their swimming trunks or swimsuits, take a refreshing
drink, and head to one of the many fountains in the city.
To avoid disturbing residents' sleep, the fountain
bathing should end by 11 p.m. at the latest. Bathing in
the fountains is an experience that visitors to Basel
should definitely try. After the sun sets and the
streetlights cast their warm glow, a very special
atmosphere begins to envelop Basel.
The last bathers slowly leave the fountains and stroll
through the narrow alleys of the old town. It is the
perfect end to a day full of refreshing fountain bathing
in the city's fountains. The picture shows the Zschokke
Fountain.

Botanical Garden
The University of Basel maintains one of the oldest
botanical gardens in the world. As early as the year
1589, Caspar Bauhin established the "hortus medicus,"
an herb garden that includes numerous medicinal and
poisonous plants. Since 1897, the botanical garden has
been located at its current site. The garden is part of the
Botanical Institute of the University of Basel, with which
it has a direct connection. The garden is open yearround
and consists of an outdoor area and four
greenhouses.
In the mist forest house within the tropical house of the
botanical garden, visitors will find a unique atmosphere.
You will be immersed in an enchanted world full of
exotic plants, shrouded in a fine mist. With high
humidity and minimal temperature fluctuations, many
exotic plants feel at home here. A walk through the mist
forest house is like a journey into the tropical rainforests
of the world, showcasing the diversity and beauty of
nature.

Hammering Man
The American artist Johnathan Borofsky created the first
"Hammering Man" in the year 1979 for an exhibition at
the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York City. This moving
sculpture is seen as a symbol of work and action, and it
also represents solidarity with all working people.
Versions of the "Hammering Man" can be found in
many cities around the world.
The statue measures 13.5 metres in height, is 15
centimetres thick and weighs nearly 8 tonnes. Its
powerful arm, which continuously swings the hammer,
reminds locals and tourists of the importance of hard
work and perseverance. Since its installation in the year
1989, its constant movement has symbolised the
relentless effort and dedication that many people show
in their daily jobs.
The view of the artwork towards the glass facade of the
UBS offices almost seems like a call to work hard and
remain steadfast in the financial world.

Mittlere Brücke
The Mittlere Brücke was the only crossing over the Rhine in
Basel until the year 1879. This bridge is considered the
boundary between the High Rhine and the Upper Rhine. The
High Rhine refers to the river section between Lake Constance
and Basel, while the Upper Rhine covers the 360 km stretch
from Basel to Bingen. The first bridge was built around the year
1225, while the current structure dates from 1903 to 1905. For
many years, the Mittlere Brücke served as a place of execution.
There are two artworks on the bridge itself. At the bridgehead
in Grossbasel stands the sculpture "Amazon Leading a Horse"
by Carl Burkhardt. The second artwork is the sculpture
"Helvetia on the Journey" by Bettina Eichin. In the year 2019, a
memorial plaque was installed to commemorate the victims of
the witch hunts, with the following inscription: "Basel
remembers the people who were accused, persecuted,
tortured, and killed for witchcraft in past centuries. Today, this
is a place that reminds us to meet others without prejudice and
not to exclude them."

14
Käppelijoch
At the end of the 14th century, a wooden chapel was
built on the old bridge, which was replaced by a stone
chapel in the 15th century.
Originally, this chapel served as a place of prayer for
travellers. Until the year 1634, the Käppelijoch was the
site where lawbreakers were punished by drowning.
With the construction of the Mittlere Brücke, the
original chapel was replaced by an exact replica. Above
the entrance of the chapel is a relief depicting Bishop
Heinrich von Thun, the initiator of the first Rhine bridge
in Basel. The chapel became a symbol of faith and hope
during a time marked by uncertainty and threats.
Even after the practice of drowning at the Käppelijoch
ended, the chapel remained a place of spiritual retreat
and reflection for people.
To this day, the chapel is very popular with pilgrims and
tourists who appreciate its history and spiritual
significance.

Sculpture below
Mittlerer Brücke
As part of the "Carnival Fountain" series, Swiss artist Jean Tinguely created the sculpture
located under the Mittlere Brücke. Like nearly all of Tinguely's works, this piece is
composed of assembled metal fragments. The sculpture is constantly in motion, and thus
is continuously changing its appearance. Due to its location under the Mittlere Brücke, it
is often overlooked by passers-by. You can get the best view of the sculpture by simply
following the Rhine and walking under the bridge.

Novartis Campus
The Novartis Campus serves as the global headquarters
of the Novartis Group. Approximately 8,000 employees
work at this location. On an area of about 20 hectares,
visitors can admire outstanding examples of
contemporary architecture. T
he "who's who" of architecture has gathered at this
location. Around 20 buildings, designed by renowned
architects, have quickly made the Novartis Campus a
centre of modern architecture.
The opening hours are on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m., while the campus remains closed on
weekends.
A special highlight is the Novartis Pavilion. The pavilion
also serves as a meeting point for informal gatherings
and creative idea exchanges. With its unique
architecture, it is not only an architectural but also a
cultural highlight of the Novartis Campus.

Historical
City Hall
The site where the striking red sandstone building
stands today was already the political heart of Basel all
the way back in the year 1290. The historic central building
received its current form when Basel joined the
Swiss Confederation in the year 1501. Above the three
entrances there are three coats of arms, each featuring
a black crozier. Two of these croziers point to the left,
while one points to the right.
The coats of arms of the city of Basel and the half-canton
of Basel-Stadt display left-pointing croziers, while
the coat of arms of Basel-Landschaft shows a rightpointing
crozier. The right-pointing black crozier symbolises
the unity and independence of the half-canton of
Basel-Stadt.
This particular orientation was deliberately chosen at
the time to highlight the close connection to the city of
Basel. The two cities worked closely together to achieve
common goals and defend their interests.

the floods of the nearby Birsig, a tributary of the Rhine
approximately 20 km long.

In the year 2020, Basel had 218 public water points and
120 fountains located in school playgrounds,
government buildings, and private gardens. Except for
three of these fountains, all provide access to drinking
water.
A unique attraction is the permission to bathe in many
of these fountains during the warmer months. For
further information, please visit the "Fountain Dip"
page.
Numerous fountains are listed as historical monuments.
Particularly noteworthy is the Tinguely Fountain. The
moving artworks by the Basel-based artist offer
constantly changing perspectives. Around the fountain,
there are many opportunities for visitors to relax and
unwind.

always repeating the same movements, yet each time
creating a fresh experience.
The Tinguely Fountain is cleaned every Wednesday

Basilisk Fountains
The Basilisk Fountains in Basel were installed in the year
1884 as part of the modernisation of the city's water
pipe system. About 25 of the original 49 fountains can
still be found in the city today. Almost all of these
fountains, designed in the form of a basilisk holding the
Basel coat of arms, face towards the Rhine. Only one of
them turns away from the river. This arrangement was
deliberately chosen so that tourists wanting to
photograph the opposite Basel Muenster cathedral can
capture the fountain from the front.
Many of these fountains have been given as gifts by the
city of Basel to sister cities. Thus, the distinctive green
water dispensers can be found in cities like Zurich,
Shanghai, Vienna, and Moscow.
The Basilisk Fountains are not only artistic water
dispensers but also hold symbolic meaning. The basilisk
is considered a protector and guardian, watching over
the safety of the residents.

Museums
Museums in Basel
Basel is renowned for its diverse art and cultural
institutions of international acclaim, which span nearly
40 museums across the entire canton. Considering its
population size, the city is one of the most important
cultural centres in Europe.
The city’s art museum houses what is considered the
most important public art collection in Switzerland.
Since acquiring the "Amerbach Cabinet" in the year
1661, it has been regarded as the world's oldest publicly
accessible art museum.
Art enthusiasts will naturally also visit the Tinguely
Museum and the private Fondation Beyeler, which
displays works of classical modernism in Riehen in a
building designed by Renzo Piano.

Museum Kleines Klingental
On the banks of the Rhine river stands the historic building of
the former Dominican convent of Klingental. Thanks to its wellpreserved
rooms and furnishings from the early 16th century,
visitors can immerse themselves in the unique atmosphere of
the pre-Reformation era. The Museum Kleines Klingental
houses an extensive collection of sandstone sculptures from
Basel Münster dating back to around 1200. Here, you can
admire dragons, saintly figures, as well as a variety of fantasy
and mythical creatures. The museum impressively conveys the
cultural history of Basel. Highlights of the exhibition include a
detailed and complete scale model of what was once Basel's
richest and largest monastery around the year 1510. A city
model of Klein- and Grossbasel at a scale of 1:400 shows the
city in the 17th century.
An imposing round window in the northern transept is adorned
with a wheel of fortune. The original wheel was made of oak
but had to be replaced with stone elements over the centuries.

Hoosesagg Museum
The Hoosesagg Museum is located in an alleyway called
Imbergässlein and is an integral part of any city tour.
The origins of this mini-museum lie in the curiosity of
tourists who admired the building where the first
midwife of Basel supposedly lived. A picture of Saint
Christopher with the Christ Child on the facade was
meant to protect the midwife from sudden death. Over
time, it attracted more and more interested visitors,
which became increasingly bothersome for the
residents. Many even tried to peek inside through the
window in the front door. As a solution, a small kiosk
was installed within the window, instead of closing it off
with curtains or frosted glass. However, since few
people actually rang the bell to buy something, the
museum operators began displaying various collections.
Thus, what is probably the smallest museum in the
world was created, presenting culture on just one
square metre. By the way, the name "Hoosesagg"
derives from the fact that all the exhibits must fit into a
trouser pocket.

Pharmacy Museum
The building housing the Pharmacy Museum of the University
of Basel dates back to the year 1316. Initially, it served as a
bathhouse until the printer Johannes Amerbach moved into the
building around the year 1480. After Amerbach's former
assistant, Johannes Frobenius, took over the property in 1507,
the Dutch scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam joined him. The young
Hans Holbein also worked in this house. From the year 1526 to
1527, the renowned physician Theophrastus von Hohenheim,
better known as Paracelsus, was active here. The House to the
Chair belongs to the University of Basel. The museum for
pharmaceutical historical objects impressively offers a
comprehensive overview of all facets of pharmacy.
The collection includes a variety of unique artefacts, such as
ancient mortars and plague documents from the Middle Ages.
One of the highlights of the museum is the collection of old
pharmacy furnishings, which provide insight into the
pharmaceutical practices of bygone eras. Visitors can
experience firsthand how the field of pharmacy has evolved

Historical Museum Basel
The Franciscans arrived in Basel in the year 1231. The
first church, built in 1256, was replaced by a larger
place of worship in the year 1309. Over two centuries
later, in the year 1529, the city of Basel took over the
church. The former monastery cemetery was
transformed into Barfüsserplatz.
For a long period, the church served as a storage room
and salt depot. The stored salt caused significant
damage to the building's structure.
To repurpose the church as a museum, extensive
renovations took place between the years 1890 and
1894. From 1975 to 1981, the city of Basel
commissioned a thorough restoration, during which an
additional basement level was created. Particularly
noteworthy are the themed tours offered at the
museum. The Historical Museum Basel continuously
presents an extensive exhibition programme. A visit to
Barfüsserplatz is definitely recommended.

Barfüsserplatz
Münster
As early as the Late Bronze Age, around 1000 BC,
fortified settlements were established on the
Münsterhügel at elevated locations. In later times, the
Romans built forts on this site, and over the centuries,
Münsterhügel developed into a significant bishop's seat.
This lead to the creation of increasingly larger and more
magnificent church buildings.
A very special musical treat awaits visitors every
Saturday at 12:00 noon. Under the title "Organ Point
12," organ concerts are held at the Münster. Admission
to these concerts is free of charge.
Queen Anna of Habsburg and her son Charles found
their final resting place in the Münster around the year
1281. However, the remains of the Habsburg matriarch
were long ago transferred to Austria. Queen Anna's
tomb is the only figurative royal tomb in Switzerland.
The Gothic double cloister is also a truly wonderful sight
for visitors to the Basel Münster.

In the warmer months, swimming in the Rhine is a
popular pastime for the people of Basel. As a tourist in
Basel, you shouldn't miss out on this unique experience.
On the riverbank, like in the picture near the
Schwarzwald Bridge in front of the Tinguely Museum,
you take off your clothes and store them in the
colourful Wickelfisch. This dry-bag specifically designed
for swimming is shaped like a fish. It is a Basel invention
and ensures that everything stays dry while you float
downstream with the Rhine's current.
After jumping into the River, you are carried by the
gentle current while you drift along the picturesque old
town. From the Tinguely Museum, you can float for up
to three kilometres. The cool water of the Rhine
caresses your skin, providing a pleasant refreshment on
hot days. The passing scenery of the city imparts a sense
of freedom and relaxation.
Thus, the Rhine not only offers a welcome way to cool
down but also an unforgettable experience amidst the

spaces, pebble beaches, and Rhine baths.
For a spontaneous break, one of the many buvettes
(snack stands) invite you to linger. From the terraces of
the restaurants and bars along the Rhine promenade,
visitors can watch the lively activity on the Rhine. Fishing
boats and excursion ships glide by, creating a
