Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Vieille ville de Bâle
The Vieille ville de Bâle The site reveals its authenticity in the details of materials and the changes in movement between streets and squares.
Place
Kunstmuseum Basel
The Kunstmuseum Basel is first and foremost worth its ability to link architecture, journey and contemporary look. By choosing a few strong wings and clear circulation, the tour becomes dense without becoming heavy, with a clear understanding of the local cultural role.
Place
Fondation Beyeler
The Beyeler Foundation offers a luminous tour setting, where exhibition and interior space intertwine in a single tempo. The interest spreads by following the key rooms and then returning to the areas of visual breathing to capture the overall intention.
Place
Rhin
The Rhin, in contact with Bâle, becomes a continuous thread of movements and views, more speaking than a simple photo of the bank. The best approach is to alternate look at the river and urban walk to feel the structuring role of the water.
