Basel, Switzerland is a beautiful but sprawling city. Since I only had 24 hrs to explore the city, I focused on five things to see and do. The five places I explored are: 1. The Tinguely Fountain, by artist Jean Tinguely 2. Basel Minster, a magnificent Gothic cathedral 3. Mittlere Brucke or Bridge, with the Kappelijoch medieval chapel 4. Altstadt or the Old Town of Basel, which included the Basel Town Hall and Marktplatz 5. The Botanischer Garten der UniversitΓ€t Basel or Botanical Garden of the University of Basel. @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Videos from this trip: Amsterdam: https://youtu.be/4KhuUTUDN_4 Kinderdijk & Cheese Farm: https://youtu.be/bRq-q1a97jg Cologne: https://youtu.be/ZU7gvtY3PtI Koblenz: https://youtu.be/s_HqZWa2CKQ Strasbourg: https://youtu.be/Tk_VbVcUnLs Colmer and Black Forest: https://youtu.be/68Y-6vpZdnE Basel: https://youtu.be/2RBv9kuB9D0 Viking Einer or Sigrin Riverboat: https://youtu.be/viEP8tRRPZY Overview of Rhine Get-Away cruise: https://youtu.be/aFy_73rD57A 5 Things to do in Venice, Italy: https://youtu.be/7Uj8nirIB4A 10 Things to know before visiting Venice: https://youtu.be/poRZEzZvWrU Lugano, Switzerland: https://youtu.be/YXlVT-iPipU Lucerne, Switzerland: https://youtu.be/nzqu1gTq9WM Basel, Switzerland: https://youtu.be/2RBv9kuB9D0 Milan, Italy: https://youtu.be/FNDRM6FWqrk Lake Como Day Trip: Coming Soon!
