Enjoyed your take on my beloved city a lot - thx. To put your question about the influences of the surrounding countries to a rest - it’s the other way around. Basel was the center of this region for more than 1000 years - so Basel has shaped the surroundings much more than any artificial politics or state’s boundaries where able to. That’s the beauty of this region where crossing borders is not going into a different country - it’s just a look at the border patrol with absolute surprise - what the heck you are doing here!

As a French from Mulhouse, I absolutely love to come to Basel multiple times a year (it's litterally a 20 minutes train ride). I get to see the city all year round and it's numerus festivals and events. The start of the carnival is awesome for exemple and all of the museums were and still are captivating to me as an art student. The only downside is that is is insanly expensive espacially now that I'm not a student anymore. I'm glad you had fun there as I do when I visit!

I’ve been missing vlogs by expats in Germany like Seth in Berlin and HelloErika, who haven’t been posting much lately, so seeing a new travel vlog by Hello Erika has me excited.

I live on the French side and enjoy walking along the borders; it’s a wonderful place to be. It was great to see a video featuring all the places I've visited in the three countries, I really enjoyed it :)

The neighboring Alsace (France) and Baden (Germany) are part of the same cultural region, which is Allemanic. We all speak a similar German dialect when speaking our mothers tongue. This might explain why you did not feel french or german influences. If you really cross the border, you might feel a difference though.

Your hotel was not just a hotel. In fact it is a christian mission which educated and then sent european missionars (for example the parents of Hermann Hesse) to Africa, since 1820. Today it's still an evangelikal charity organisation doing development aid in lots of countries.

Greetings from Slovakia, very lovely video

When you compare Basel to other Swiss cities you should at least recognize the cultural and architectural orientation of Basel to the north into the upper rhine trench. So in cities like Frankfurt, Mainz, Mannheim and Straßburg you will find countless examples of commum evolution in the choise of building materials and architectural characteristic.

Love your videos Erika! (Greetings from Manchester, UK 🇬🇧)

As someone who lived and worked in Basel, it is not uncommon for people to "float" to work using the Rhein

I recommend buying a gimbal for your camera it will make the quality better and filming easier

I always had this question about Basel.
How does Basel Airport work? I mean that the airport of the city lies in France. But the citylimits are only on the swiss side. But it extends in France and Germany. How does it financially work there. Do you still have to purchase in Swiss prices or french prices. Is the airport only speaking french language because it in France or does it also do German, but its also not in Germany but the city extends in Germany.
This city confuses me so much.
