Interesting for U.S. tourists: When you leave the railway station you see a monument, offered by France thanking for the humanitarian aid by Switzerland during the french-german war 1870/71, when Basel, Berne and Zurich evacuated thiusands of women and children from Strasburg, which was under heavy artillery fire. The artist, who designed this monument, was the same, who designed the Liberty Statue in New York! Mr, Bartholdy. If you look at the lady protecting the women and children with her swiss shield, you will easily recognise the same female model as with the Liberty Statue. Just as additional info.

As a person who lives in Basel do not go to mark Haller but just stay near martplatz AND go to a place called Gilgen. Also go to barfusserplatz if you are tourist. Also American cents in Basel are rapen and finally one of the best restaurant in Basel is Fischerstuba near wettstienplatz!

I was once an employee of Novartis and Basel is so stunning❤

[checkyourrelationtoreality]

As a basilean myself i suggest future visitors also smth uncommon for tourists:
-Port in Kleinhüningen(basel)
-streets next/nearby the market place
-a sauna in winter at directly attached to the river
-numerous places for good and cheap eating local and international
-redlight district(but dont expect topmodels)
-streetworkout at the river(for sport)
-dreirosenbrücke(brigde) for sunset picnic and a few more activities but im too lazy rn to write it down.

OMG 16K you weren't joking that this video was picked up!!! HAHA. It's a super comprehensive list and definitely really helpful for those who want to go! Museums, Views, and Ferries The fun doesn't stop! I think the most exciting place that we would want to check out would definitely be Dreilandereck because you can be at 3 countries at once! We would also love to do the paper mill because that experience looks so cool! We saw it on AMAZING RACE once! Dreams do come true!
