Basel Tour – Stories from the Old Town at the Bend of the Rhine
A tour of Basel will show you a city where narrow streets, art, and life along the Rhine are closely intertwined. On the Münsterberg, you’ll discover Basel’s origins; around the cathedral, the city’s architecture and history come to life. Add to that the fountains, squares, and stories that define the character of this Swiss city.
Knowledgeable tour guides will tell you about the city’s former residents, its medieval water supply, and the mysterious basilisk. You’ll learn why this mythical creature keeps appearing throughout the cityscape and what the Rhine means to Basel. As you wander among well-known landmarks and quieter corners, you’ll get a feel for the Old Town.
