Facts & figures. Basel is a unique and delightful city, where proverbial Swiss quality meets a multicultural population in the border area with France and Germany. This makes the city unmistakably cosmopolitan, lively and innovative. Perhaps this is the reason why people of Basel know their guests’ needs so well by now and as a result are a dab hand at pampering them.

Population of the canton of Basel Approx. 195,000 Language

German Currency Swiss francs, CHF Exchange rate: EUR 1,00 = approx. CHF 1.25 / GBP 1.00 = approx. CHF 1.50 / USD 1.00 = approx. CHF 1 Climate Basel has a central European continental climate and is one of the warmest regions in Switzerland. It enjoys an above-average number of sunny days. The average temperatures of the last 30 years are: spring, 10.3 °C; summer, 18.8 °C; autumn, 10.5 °C; winter, 2.4 °C. Geography The city of culture on the Rhine is situated at the heart of Europe in the middle of the tri-border region formed by Switzerland, France and Germany. The Black Forest, the Vosges mountains, the Jura mountains and the Alsace are very close to Basel.

Economy In Basel you will find a unique concentration of innovative companies, research institutes and academic institutions, a cosmopolitan culture, an international environment and businessfriendly conditions. The region gives employment to around 300,000 people from both Switzerland and abroad. The city on the Rhine is a centre for life sciences as well as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is also home to many important companies in the logistics, transport and financial services industries. Furthermore, Basel is one of the most important trade fair and congress centres in Switzerland. History Back before our calendar began, Basel had already been occupied by the Celts. In 30 B.C. the city‘s strategically favourable position led the Romans to station their military forces on the hill now occupied by the Cathedral. One key event in the development of the city was the founding of the university in the year 1460. Many of Europe‘s greatest minds came to Basel, which became a veritable centre of humanism and book printing. The Reformation witnessed the growth of the silk weaving and dyeing industries which in turn gave rise to today‘s pharmaceutical and chemical companies. The once fortified settlement is today a financial and commercial hub and a celebrated city of culture.

The Cathedral and Pfalz

Basel exhibition centre

Tinguely Fountain

Sights to see & places to go

Sights to see & places to go. The Cathedral 1 Together with the Mittlere Brücke, the Cathedral is the most famous landmark of Basel. With its red sandstone walls, colourful roof tiles and twin towers, no other building adorns the cityscape of Basel like the Cathedral. Excellent views over the city can be enjoyed from the Cathedral‘s towers.

Basel exhibition centre 4 The city’s most recent landmark is the new exhibition centre. The central architectural urban feature of the new hall complex, developed by Herzog & de Meuron, is the City Lounge. This covered, public space not only marks the entrance to the exhibitions, but also functions as a meeting place for locals and visitors.

Pfalz 2 The terrace high above the Rhine behind the Cathedral provides a stunning view across the Old Town, far into the tri-border area and as far as the Vosges mountains.

Spalentor The Spalentor is the most impressive of the remaining three city gates from the city’s large fortifications of 1400 and is regarded as one of the most beautiful city gates in Switzerland.

City Hall The Marktplatz is dominated by the magnificent City Hall, the seat of Basel’s government. The council rooms, the atmospheric courtyard, the romantic arcades and the impressive tower are particularly worth visiting.

St. Alban-Tal St. Alban-Tal is a district of the city full of romance and historic buildings. Located between the Rhine and the city centre, it is characterised by its narrow alleys and streams and is also known as the Little Venice of Basel.

Marktplatz Six days a week, fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers are sold at the Marktplatz. Set against the backdrop of the historic Old Town, this market is a colourful event where delicious food of all types can be sampled.

St. Jakob-Park stadium The architects Herzog & de Meuron are well known all over the world. Their most important projects include the Tate Modern in London and the Olympic Stadium in Beijing. The architect duo also created Switzerland’s first multifunctional football stadium: the St. Jakob-Park in Basel.

Mittlere Brücke The Mittlere Brücke is one of the oldest crossing points on the Rhine between Lake Constance and the North Sea. Located at the centre of the bridge is the Käppelijoch, where executions were carried out during the Middle Ages. Border Triangle The tri-border region at the Rhine harbour marks the meeting point between Switzerland, Germany and France. This is also the area where ships depart for the North Sea and is therefore an important hub for the supply of raw materials to Switzerland. Old Town The Old Town of Basel is one of the best-preserved and most beautiful in Europe. In hardly any other city do buildings from the 15th century and those by modern, internationally renowned architects complement each other to form an urban landscape that is both intriguing and harmonious. Hammering Man The Hammering Man, a symbol of the hard-working residents of Basel, is located on Aeschenplatz. The 13.5 metre high artwork by American artist Jonathan Borofsky has been swinging its hammer here continuously since 1989. Tinguely Fountain 3 The famous fountain by Jean Tinguely is situated on the former location of the stage of the old city theatre. With his playful machine sculptures, the Swiss artist created a landmark in the city.

Rhine promenade Basel’s lifeline is the best place to relax. The Rhine promenade is the most popular jogging route in the city and is also the first choice for people out for a stroll or for those in love. The four Rhine ferries Cross the Rhine the way people did 150 years ago: ring the bell at the quay, give the ferryman a sign, and get on the ferries powered only by the natural current of the Rhine. Messeturm by Morger & Degelo At 105 metres, the Messeturm is the tallest building in Basel. Enjoy the sunset from the Bar Rouge on the 31st floor, the highest bar in the city. BIS building by Mario Botta This impressive building designed by famous architect Mario Botta is home to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). The sixstorey building is typical of the style of the architect from the Swiss canton of Ticino. Südpark Südpark provides retail, residential and office accommodation under one roof. The building on the south side of Swiss Railway Station SBB belongs to SBB. This project, designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, is expected to contribute to the on-going redevelopment of the Gundeldinger area.

Tours & trips in Basel. Walking tour through the historic Old Town 1 Spend two hours following the traces of an exciting past from the Tinguely Fountain across the Cathedral Hill, to the City Hall and along the winding and romantic alleys of the medieval Old Town. Let history come alive!

Vintage tram tours Make yourself comfortable and spend an unforgettable hour discovering historic and modern evidence of the 2000 year-old history of Basel. The vintage tram dating back to the 1920s will allow you to savour wonderful sights of the city.

Basel Zoo 2 Enjoy a day in the jungle without leaving the city. The Basel Zoo, affectionately known as “Zolli”, opened to the public in 1874 and is currently home to around 600 species on 11 hectares. www.zoobasel.ch

Art in the city Stroll through the vast open-air art gallery which Basel has to offer. Many fabulous artworks by Jean Tinguely, Richard Serra, Bettina Eichin and other renowned artists can be discovered gracing the city’s streets and piazzas.

You can do this as part of a boat trip provided by one of the large shipping companies that include Basel in their tours or during one of the tours offered by the Basel tour boat company. The “Rhytaxi” will also take you safely and comfortably across the Rhine. www.bpg.ch/www.rhytaxi-basel.ch

Exhibition highlights

Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel

Exhibition highlights. Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel 1 Private Marilyn – the person behind the concept of Monroe, 19 Oct 2013 – 6 April 2014 In this unique special exhibition, more than 700 original memorabilia and personal items of the extraordinary icon Marilyn Monroe will be displayed in Switzerland for the first time. The exhibition takes a look behind the facade of the glamorous Hollywood film star Marilyn Monroe, who – despite her death some decades ago – still captivates our attention.

Museum Tinguely Kristof Kintera, 11 Jun – 29 Sep 2014 With irony and mischief the young Czech artist Kristof Kintera turns art and life on their heads. With his dysfunctional machines with absurd add-ons, he has Tinguely‘s aesthetic to a “T”. With him he shares an extremely extroverted and critical artistic attitude that questions, pulls apart or reconfigures everything. This solo exhibition, his biggest so far, will present all facets of his versatile creativity.

Kunstmuseum Basel James Ensor, 16 Feb – 25 May 2014 Ghosts, skulls, skeletons and other macabre figures characterise the work of James Ensor. His works are bizarre, ironic, sometimes aggressive and provocative, and always driven by a profound sense of humour. This exhibition features almost 60 paintings and just as many drawings, some of which are being exhibited for the first time.

Fondation Beyeler Gustave Courbet, 7 Sep 2014 – 18 Jan 2015 Gustave Courbet is one of the greatest painters of the 19th century. With his provocative paintings and the emphasis he places on his individuality as an artist, his work heralds Modernism. The Fondation Beyeler is devoting an exhibition to this first avantgarde artist that will bring together his self-portraits, his representations of women and his paintings of grottos, the sea, as well as highlighting his strategy of ambiguity and the innovative way in which he treats colour.

Schaulager Paul Chan, 12 Apr – 19 Oct 2014 Schaulager presents the first major solo exhibition of the US artist Paul Chan.

Fondation Beyeler Gerhard Richter, 18 May – 7 Sep 2014 Fondation Beyeler is staging the first major Swiss exhibition of probably the most significant painter of modern times.
