Wenken Park

Reviewed By Pioneer577172

The Wenken park is a short bus ride outside of Basel, in the hills. The grounds are gracious and beautifully set out. The gardens are magnificent and this is where Federer chose to hold his wedding. Impeccable taste. Worth a visit.

Basel Minster

Reviewed By gregoryd762

The only red stone minster we have seen so far, this beautiful cathedral set in its own square is very impressive.We have climbed many minsters, duomos and cathedrals, so found this climb relatively easy. Great views from the narrow platform. Unfortunately, we didnt realise there were other steps to go higher. Maybe next time, as there is so much to see in Basel.

Church of St. Elisabeth was constructed between 1857 and 1865 as the first Protestant church to be built in Basel since the Reformation. Now it acts as a cultural meeting place for people from all walks of life, regardless of their origins, race or religion.

One of the most attractive fountains in the world! You could just stand and admire all moving parts making different figures with water. Attractive day and night. Also nice place for a rest in auiet park.

Tierpark Lange Erlen

Reviewed By jhusak - Riehen, Switzerland

Tierpark Langen Erlen has gone through a process of modernization / refurbishment autumn 2018 and I paid it a visit just now the first time after the completion of work (probably before the end of 2018). Free entrance, strolling around and primarily being able to see local animals as well as having just some airtime whilst walking through the park ... it's a great recreational area for any time of the year. Best reachable by bike or public transport, the parking lot is way too small to go there by car. In summer, take some swimmsuit or transportable BBQ with you to enjoy more time next to the park at the river Wiese or in the woods of Lange Erlen. Beautiful leisure outdoor location.

Rathaus

Reviewed By lienloerie777 - Pretoria, South Africa

Love that you can just calmly go into the city hall, with a doggie on a leash, and just sit and admire the stunning walls, murals and architecture. I love Basel. Everything there just works!
