Basel's Old Town

Enter the beautiful wine country, the beautiful small town on the Rhine, Mainz. Feel the rich artistic atmosphere of one of Germany's oldest cities and admire its rich cultural heritage. On the edge of the old town, the magnificent 1,000-year-old Emperor St. Martin's Church sits on its stone hill. The church combines a variety of architectural styles from Roman to Baroque. The market square in front of the cathedral is picturesque.

When I told my friend I was traveling in Basel, he showed my surprise: “Why would you want to travel in Basel? It’s probably the ‘most unlike Switzerland’ place, it’s for train transfer!” Due to its numerous museums, global clock shows and well-preserved medieval neighborhoods, Basel is cloudy in autumn and light rain infiltrates the city on the Rhine. If it weren't for the rain, I think I would have stayed longer in the Dinggli Fountain - this fountain on the former site of the original Basel Theatre is a device that can "act" water dance, made by the artist Dinggli (Jean Tinguely, 1925-1991) with the combination of stage equipment and waste parts left by the original theater. Interesting. In the old city, the streets were flooded with rainwater, and there were few pedestrians and it was very quiet. The museums in Basel are scattered, and young gentlemen holding umbrellas to keep the rain from wet the skirts of the women, can vaguely hear the music of a room on the street. Florence, Switzerland, is indeed. The red city hall is a fireworks scene. The gothic city hall is colorful, and it is the capital of Basel. It enters the courtyard of the city hall and you can see the sculptures and colorful murals of centuries ago.
