Tradition and the modern

The good old town

Travel through time as you explore Basel on foot. In few other cities you will find buildings dating back to the 15th century contrasting with and yet complementing the modern works of internationally renowned architects.

Basel’s Old Town remains as untouched and beautiful as any other in Europe. Pay a visit to the City Hall in the centre of town – a striking red sandstone building with a prominent tower and colourful murals.
