Basel Minster

Old Town

Kunstmuseum Basel

Basel's exquisite art museum houses an impressive permanent collection of 19th and 20th century works (including a whole room filled with masterpieces by Picasso), as well as an extensive collection of medieval and renaissance paintings from European artists (Hans Baldung Grien, Hans Holbein, among others). Under the same umbrella, but in a separate building, at St. Alban-Rheinweg 60 (10 minute walk from the main facility) is the '''[http://www.kunstmuseumbasel.ch/de/museum-fuer-gegenwartskunst-mit-emanuel-hoffmannn-stiftung.html Museum für Gegenwartskunst] ''' ''(Museum of Contemporary Art)'', which focuses - as the German name says - on contemporary art. Along with the Beyeler Foundation (see below), both collections are must-sees for art lovers. No photography.

Fondation Beyeler

This elegant museum, located 15 minutes outside of Basel in the suburb of ''Riehen'', was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano. It houses a world-class collection, assembled over half a century by Basel's pre-eminent art dealer Ernst Beyeler (see ''Art

Rhine River

In warm weather, be sure to spend some time in the afternoon enjoying the sun by the Rhine, walking along the 2 mile/ 3 km promenade on the Kleinbasel board, or take a dip in it if it's really hot, as many locals do (see ''Sports'' in the ''Do'' section, and ''Stay safe''). Walk over the bridges: they offer excellent vantage points to see river - and river bank - life. Even better - cross the Rhine by '''Faehri'''. See ''Getting Around'', ''By Boat''.

Basel Zoo

Binningerstrasse 40. Basel's most visited paid tourism attraction. It is the oldest and largest (by number of animals) zoo in Switzerland, with easy access by walking or tram from the central SBB station. For a zoo located in the center of a city it is big with great variety. Have lunch watching the elephants and take some time to see the monkeys solving problems for food in the Monkey House.
