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.

I did a self guided tour of Basel in September 2019. I went to the tourist office for information and I got a leaflet that provided walking routes around the old town of Basel. If you are short on time, the details of the walking tour are very useful for seeing the sights of the old town in a short period of time. The walking tour doesn't go to every sight of interest in Geneva, put it passes by many of the city's attractions, including the town hall and the botanical gardens.
