Basel, Switzerland Travel Video
Basel is Switzerland's oldest university city. Historic landmarks of the city include the large market square with its richly decorated red sandstone town hall and the late Romanesque-Gothic cathedral. During a walk through the old town, past small boutiques, antique book shops but also shops of modern designers, a visit to the Läckerli Huus to try the traditional Basel honey cake is well worth your while. Basel is tradition-conscious and open-minded at the same time, a fact born out by several modern buildings designed by renowned architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Mario Botta, Diener & Diener and Richard Meyer.
Almost 40 museums make Basel the city with the highest density of museums in the country. Internationally known museums, such as the Basel Art Museum, the museum devoted to the iron sculptor Jean Tinguely, the Fondation Beyeler and the Museum of Cultures attract a great many visitors, as do several galleries and playhouses. Basel is among other things home to the symphony orchestra and the chamber orchestra as well as the musical theatre featuring international productions. And a wide range of classical and contemporary productions are shown on the stages of the Basel Theatre and the Playhouse.
Basel - Bâle - Basle
Basle or Bâle (in French) is Switzerland's third most populous city with about 166,000 inhabitants. Located where the Swiss, French and German borders meet, Basel also has suburbs in France and Germany. In 2011, the Basel agglomeration was the third largest in Switzerland with a population of 500,600[4] in 74 municipalities in Switzerland and an additional 53 in neighbouring countries (municipal count as of 2000).
Located in northwest Switzerland on the river Rhine, Basel functions as a major industrial centre for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The Basel region, culturally extending into German Baden-Württemberg and French Alsace, reflects the heritage of its three states in the modern Latin name: Regio TriRhena. It has the oldest university of the Swiss Confederation (1460).
Basel is among the most important cultural centres of Switzerland. The city comprises a large number of theatres and many museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the world's oldest art collection accessible to the public.
Experience Basel [Switzerland]
It is not easy to describe Basel in a few words. Descriptions for example such as “cultural city of Switzerland” or “university town” are merely an attempt to give some sort of impression of the wealth of culture, history, relaxation and enjoyment to be found in the city. basel.com
Meet the Institutions | Kunstmuseum Basel
Opening to the public over 350 years ago, the Kunstmuseum Basel is a living symbol of Baslers’ love of art. Its program unfolds over three striking venues – the Hauptbau, Neubau, and Gegenwart – that are located by the Rhine and operate like ‘three parts of a single organism’s body’, says director Josef Helfenstein. The Kunstmuseum Basel’s collections range from Pre-Renaissance painting to installations by Modern and contemporary artists. Yet far from relying on such riches, the museum constantly strives to offer visitors new perspectives on its holdings.

A Canton Divided: 7 Facts about Basel-Landschaft
In this video you can find 7 little known facts about Basel Landschaft. Keep watching and subscribe, as more episodes will follow!
You can now support this channel via Patreon, by accessing the link bellow. Thank you!

------------------------------------------------
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The canton of Basel-Landschaft is one of the 26 cantons of Switzerland. The Canton of Basel Land at the gates of the city of Basel boasts a variety of beautiful landscapes, impressive natural and cultural jewels. There is a lot to discover in the region of Basel, whether one travels in the footsteps of the Romans, cruises on the Rhine, or undertakes a biking tour in the Jura.
2. The lands of the canton Basel-Landschaft are part of the lands acquired by the city of Basel. Until the end of the 16th century, most of the canton's land belonged to the city of Basel. The country was economically dependent on the city, most probably because of the low level of education in the agricultural areas at the time. After 1830 there were political quarrels and armed conflict in the canton of Basel. Some of these were concerned with the rights of the population in the agricultural areas. They ultimately led to the separation of the canton Basel-Landschaft from the city of Basel on 26 August 1833. Since then, there has been a movement for reunification. This movement gained momentum after 1900 when many parts of Basel-Landschaft became industrialized. The two half cantons agreed in principle to merge, but in 1969 the people of Basel-Landschaft voted down a referendum on this proposal in favour of retaining their independence.
3. In Roman times, the area of Basel was a centre of Roman activity. There are well-preserved remains at the site of Augusta Raurica in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. Around 200 AD there were about 20,000 people living in this city, now part of the much smaller Augst. The remains are on display in an open-air museum. The museum attracts over 140,000 visitors per year. Many of these visitors are schoolchildren from other parts of Switzerland. The site of Augusta Raurica includes the best-preserved amphitheatre north of the Alps, and a reconstructed Roman villa.
4. Liestal is the capital of Liestal District and the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The name Liestal was first mentioned in 1225, and the settlement dates at least from Roman times. The Depot of Archeology of Basel-land, the Frenkenbrücke (bridge), the Munzach which was a Roman farmhouse, the Roman aqueduct and the Cantonal Archive of Basel-Landschaft are listed as Swiss heritage site of national significance. The entire old town of Liestal is listed in the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.
5. On the Sunday night after Mardi Gras, Chienbäse is celebrated with a spectacular parade and bonfires, from which the celebration takes its name. The tradition goes back at least to the 16th century. Other towns in the neighborhood also celebrate in a similar manner.
6. In 2013, Basel-Landschaft had 281,112 inhabitants, 18.1% of whom were foreigners. Most of the residents are German-speaking. The most populated church in the Evangelical Lutheran Church was 43% of the population in 2000 and 32% of the Catholic. Between 1959 and 1970, the population in this canton increased the most; practically doubled from 108 thousand to 205 thousand.
7. The Jura mountain chain traverses the canton. The name Jura is derived from juria, a Latinized form of a Celtic stem jor- forest. The mountain range gives its name to the French department of Jura, the Swiss Canton of Jura, the Jurassic period of the geologic timescale, and the Montes Jura of the Moon.

Hidden – Hidden Places in Switzerland / IWB Filter 4, Basel
The exhibition Hidden – Hidden Places in Switzerland allows visitors to experience unusual and hidden settings of Swiss everyday culture. The 25 or so photographs will be on show for the first time at IWB Filter 4 in Basel from 4 May 2018. Hidden is an art project by Basel curator Catherine Iselin and internationally acclaimed photographer Kostas Maros. Together they explored the question of what constitutes the fascination of hidden places. In search of the unusual ordinary, the peculiar and the unique, they have photographed 25 selected places throughout Switzerland. Sometimes a secret meeting room in the Bundeshaus, a magnetic laboratory at CERN or a pink calming cell in a high-security prison. The two project initiators have shared their passion for photography since their student days. The associated field of tension between the visible and the hidden and the question of how a feeling can be captured or aroused in the picture – without depriving it of the magic of the invisible – are central aspects of curating and photographing. This gave rise to the idea of realising an art project that portrays places and people who appear hidden, fascinate their viewers, arouse curiosity and leave their impressions.
More than 100 photographs were taken, which will be shown in May 2018 from Friday to Sunday at IWB Filter 4 as part of the exhibition Hidden – Hidden Places in Switzerland and will be shown in the book of the same name, which will be published by Christoph Merian Verlag at the end of April 2018. The varied programme of events accompanying the exhibition and the comprehensive publication accompany the exhibition and provide in-depth insights into the art project.

Basel, Switzerland`s Culture Capital - Unravel Travel TV
It is not easy to describe Basel in a few words. Descriptions for example such as cultural city of Switzerland or university town are merely an attempt to give some sort of impression of the wealth of culture, history, relaxation and enjoyment to be found in the city. Whether it is a visit to one of the numerous museums, a dip in the Rhine or an evening at the theatre, allow yourself to be inspired by the joys that await you in Basel.
Thanks to the EuroAirport, located just 15 minutes from the city centre, Basel is also easily reached by plane. With over 500 scheduled and charter flights each week from over 60 destinations, quick and convenient travel to the city is guaranteed.
Basel is an important interchange and transport hub and, with its three mainline train stations, offers excellent connections to all Swiss cities and the most important European metropolises. The Swiss Railway station (SBB), the French Railway station (SNCF) and the Badische Bahnhof, operated by German Railway (DB), are all conveniently located in the heart of the city.
Basel is located close to major European motorways running both north-south and east-west and is therefore easy to reach from all directions.
Basel is widely acknowledged as Switzerland's city of culture and for good reason, with visitors confronted by art at every turn - whether simply wandering through the streets of the Old Town or visiting one of the city's nearly forty museums.
The sheer number of museums alone indicates that Basel is not a city that lovers of art and culture can explore in a day. With their themed collections, the museums of Basel have something for every taste and many have reputations that stretch far beyond the Swiss border. And then there are the countless galleries scattered liberally throughout the city. There are also many high-class cultural events that take place throughout the year, underlining Basel's reputation as a cultural hot-spot. Of course we should not forget that the city also has a lively theatre and music scene.
Fondation Beyeler: With the construction of the museum building, designed by Renzo Piano, in 1997, the Beyeler collection has been made permanently accessible to the public. Around 230 works of art reflect the views of art collectors Ernst and Hildy Beyeler on the art of the 20th century.
Kunstmuseum Basel: The Kunstmuseum Basel is the oldest publicly accessible art collection in the world. The focus of the museum is on paintings and graphic art by artists from the Upper Rhine region from 1400 to 1600 and the art of the 19th to 21st centuries.
Theater Basel: The largest mixed-programme theatre company in Switzerland offers a broadly diverse repertoire, including dance, opera and theatre. The conferring of the award 'Opera House of the Year' for both 2009 and 2010 shows the high quality of the productions of this theatre company.
Classical Music: You may have seen one of Basel's famous orchestras in concert in your home country or on tour either elsewhere in Switzerland or abroad. The internationally-renowned Basel Chamber Orchestra and Basel Symphony Orchestra perform classical works at the highest level.
Basel Bands: Fans of Swiss rock, pop or indie music have good cause to be excited right now - as well as the Lovebugs, who have made a name for themselves far beyond the Swiss border, there are currently some great young bands on the scene, such as Sheila She Loves You, Blush or The Bianca Story.

Basel, Switzerland: My Favourite Place (a Local's Guide)
Basel, Switzerland! This is where I grew up in (I'm a local) and today I will guide you through my favourite place or spot in wonderful Basel City by the Rhine river: It's called Spalenberg. For this we need to go to Spalenberg (you can search this area online). It is full of authentic restaurants, bars, shops and boutiques and makes me feel at home. Make sure to try the famous Chäschüechli (cheese tart) in Basel from either a bakery or if you get the chance at Herbstmesse or a Christmas Market. You get them all year round here though at Spalenberg. After having enjoyed a tour a Spalenberg, you can continue a bit more to Spalentor (a former city gate of Basel) to get some history in. Later you can come back here and enjoy your trip to Basel. With our tips you can have a life in Switzerland like the locals do!

A city-state of Switzerland: 7 Facts about Basel-Stadt
In this video you can find 7 little known facts about Basel Stadt. Keep watching and subscribe, as more episodes will follow!
You can now support this channel via Patreon, by accessing the link bellow. Thank you!
Social Media:
------------------------------------------------
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Basel Stadt is one of the 26 cantons of Switzerland, and the smallest of the cantons by area. The canton Basel-Stadt consists of three municipalities: Riehen, Bettingen, and the city Basel itself.
2. The history of Basel begins with ancient Celtic communities around 2,500 years ago, followed by the Romans just a few centuries later, who developed nearby Augusta Raurica as an important Swiss settlement. The earliest mention of the city's former name 'Basilea' is from ancient documents dated to 374 AD. The middle of the 14th century marked a troubled time for the city. Roughly half of all the residents living in Basel were wiped out by devastating plague epidemics. Then, just as the city was beginning to pick itself up and move forward, a catastrophic earthquake arrived, on 18th October 1356. This was actually one of the most significant earthquakes ever to have occurred in Central Europe and the damage was great. Basel was virtually destroyed, with damage extending across the Swiss border into neighbouring France and Germany.
3. Basel is a very picturesque city with old buildings, narrow streets and a lot of interesting history. It is known as a European culture center with over 40 museums, 25 theaters, operas and ballet and countless art galleries. If you’re interested in that kind of thing you could easily spend a few days here going from museum to gallery to museum. If this kind of thing doesn’t interest you, there are still quite a few things to see on your trip to Basel. You can also find many outside art sculptures spread out all over the city, and it’s nice to just walk around the city stumbling upon them.
4. One of the oldest intellectual centers of Europe, Basel has through its university (founded 1460 by Pius II) attracted leading artists, scholars, and teachers. It was the residence of Froben, Erasmus, Holbein the Younger, Calvin, Nietzsche, and the Bernoulli family.
5. In 1897, Basel was chosen by Theodor Herzl as the location for the first World Zionist Congress, and altogether the congress has been held there ten times over a time span of 50 years, more than in any other location.
6. The Carnival of Basel (Basler Fasnacht) is a major cultural event in the year. The carnival is one of the biggest in Switzerland and attracts large crowds, despite the fact that many of its central traditions are played out in the early morning starting at 4am (Morgestraich) and followed by a continuous run of festivities for 72 hours.
7. The city is known for its many internationally renowned museums, like the Kunstmuseum, the first collection of art accessible to the public in Europe (1661) and the largest museum of art in the whole of Switzerland.
