Basel-amazing city located at the intersection of the borders of France, Switzerland and Germany. In addition, there is an amazing oldest university based on 1460. Here I recently learned that this is also the second largest city in the country. It is very beautiful here, all architecture, houses and streets are simply saturated with history.
Take at least the Barfusserplatz area, which refers to the old Basel. Here everything is just burning from the abundance of the paints and the diversity of goods. There is a town hall, too, very old and colorful, the gold color of the bell is combined with bright red tiles! Just amazing spectacle. This Town Hall will be one of the symbols of the city.
Another symbol is the Cathedral Munster Cathedral, built in 1019, there is a gallery and a colonnade, surrounded by just huge chestnuts. I can not even imagine how old they are. Inside the cathedral is so beautiful that I, as a tourist, can solve this beauty only with French cathedrals. Very majestic sight! Basel, like Switzerland as a whole, is very guarding their monuments of history, buildings, even pre-war and other attractions. For them, this is a whole legacy of the epoch.
In the city of more than twenty museums. Worldwide fame possess: Kunstmuseum, storing art objects by the XV-XX centuries; Museum of Jean Tangly, Artist Artist and Basel Museum of Fine Arts.
Plus, museums dedicated to cars, fire protection, paper, dolls (here is just a huge collection of all the well-known and favorite Teddy bears), everyone will not go around for a week!
Because I love animals very much and nature, then I liked the zoo and the Botanical Garden, which belong to the oldest university of the country.
The zoo is very clean, colorfully, green, I liked the black bear, well, just a handsome man!
And Lama, I thought they were so calm, peaceful, and they turned out to be very aggressive, and still spit. But beautiful!
Botanical Garden also abounds with paints and flowers, plants so much that the head is spinning. After the excursion, you are already starting to be confused, did you see these flowers, or this is different!
I also liked the German cuisine, everything is very tasty and very beautifully decorated. The ham is cut so thin slices that melts in the mouth!
Abundance of cheeses and chocolate. By the way, chocolate is really unique in the whole world. I used to also think that it was just that they say so in order to draw attention to the Swiss chocolate, but then I tried and realized that I was mistaken! I liked that people are not afraid to experiment with ingredients. Here in Basel, I tried a black chocolate with chili pepper and a cherry filling-divine
