Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland. The city couldn't be missing
from our list as it is a place full of architectural gems.
This beautiful city brings three countries together, Switzerland, France
and Germany and here you will find yourself wandering between the old and new.
The old city center is mostly pedestrianised with the majority of the
buildings very well preserved.
Being the base of the famous architect duo Herzog & De Meuron, the city is also home
to quite a few of their buildings. What surprised me the most was their high
level of design quality. The city serves them well and they serve their city
well in return
As in every central European city the Cathedral Basler Munster has a
very distinctive presence next to the river offering amazing views all over the city
Basel is the base for a lot of major Swiss pharmaceutical companies which
have also play and continue to play a vital role in how the modern Cityscape is shaped.
The campuses of Novartis and Roche are located in two different parts of
the city and are both hubs of architectural interest with buildings
designed by globally renowned architects.
I could talk about Basel architecture for hours. I could walk around the
streets with the Art Nouveau residences for even longer. This city is telling a story.
