猫猫在旅行:“There is a sundial on the wall outside the Basel Cathedral. This church has a very long history. What is unique is that there is a highland behind the church, next to the Rhine River. It is a good place to relax and rest. Many people sit here, eat lunch and enjoy the river view. We also sat here for a while and had something to eat.”
Basel Town Hall

Open tomorrow at 08:00-12:00, 12:30-17:00
猫猫在旅行:“Basel's City Hall is unexpectedly beautiful. We arrived in the city center early and other attractions were not open, so we went to the City Hall first. The red sandstone building is very colorful and decorated with gold, which is very beautiful. There are many large murals inside the building with rich colors. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, this red building is even more beautiful.”

Open tomorrow at 10:00-18:00
猫猫在旅行:“From the Viking Cruise Terminal, take the No. 8 tram to the entrance of the art museum. The front desk service was very good, and gave a fake coin to send the package. We middle-aged and elderly people can only appreciate classical art, and the classic oil paintings are still the best. After walking through the long corridor and arriving at the modern art area, I couldn't understand it.”

小丸子本尊:“We walked along the Rhine River to the famous Three-Country Monument in Basel. The air in Switzerland is so good! There were few people on the road during the morning rush hour. The Three-Country Monument is right by the river, so it was quite memorable to take some photos there.”

Brasserie Baselstab Movenpick
4.1/522 Reviews
Open Late
Open 9:00-23:00
魔女锦鲤:“Movenpick ice cream is a Swiss brand. How can you not eat it when you come to Switzerland? The price here is cheaper than in China. I buy a box almost every day. I think it tastes better than Haagen-Dazs. The ice cream is more fragrant. I like the chocolate flavor the most. I am not used to the cheese at the first bite, but it is good after a few bites! Finally, I saw that the price in Germany is actually cheaper than in Switzerland... Anyway, you can't miss it when you go to Europe!”
