Classic Basel - a photo on Flickriver

Classic Basel

            Basel, the chemical and pharmaceutical hub of Europe, is sharing border with France and Germany, having the only port city of the country. It has two parts (Gross Basel and Klein Basel) divided by the river Rhine.
Its medieval old town centers around Marktplatz, dominated by the 16th-century, red-sandstone Town Hall. Its 12th-century Gothic cathedral has city views, and contains the tomb of the 16th-century Dutch scholar, Erasmus.
Basler Herbstmesse (Autumn fair) is the largest and oldest festive event of Switzerland. Apart from that world-famous Art Basel, Basel world, historic Basler Fasnacht, Imfluss etc are few of the other notable festivals that locals celebrate in this happening and cozy Swiss city.

In frame: The famous Basel Munster (oldest of Switzerland with 1100 years of history) and the adjacent altstadt (old town) quarter.
