One of Basel’s most recognizable spots. From here, the city unfolds on both sides of the Rhine, and it’s easy to see why this bridge has always been such a central part of life here.

The Rathaus, which literally means “advice house,” is where the city’s government actually works. The facade and the courtyard are freely accessible.

Augustiner Brunnen

Basilisk Fountain. Basel really likes its fountains, there are more than 180 of them scattered around the city and most of them actually have drinkable water.

Good content, poor directions
There are two sides to a self guided tour a) interesting and entertaining content and b) showing you where to go. This tour had good content with the first information about each stop the right sort of length but… there was only a map of stops without verbal ( or written directions) . Worse the pins for some were in the wrong place, leading us up and down trying to find the point and at one point either the description was wrong or the photo ( fountain) . Other self- guided tours we’ve been on have had excellent instructions including advice on what you should be seeing to allow you to check before the commentary started .
