My Basel

by Myndo - last update: May 13, 2006

My Basel

St. Alban ferry, Basel
I am born in Basel itself, but living outside of it. I am working in Basel and Basel is the place I go, when I want to go out.

Although I love travelling, Basel is a home for me, where I am always happy to come back to.

A wonderful webcam with a view over the Rhein - and a good way to have a look at what the weather is right now, you can find here: Basel WebCam

Good place to look for news about Basel in the web (and in different languages, english, french, japanese):
Basel Tourismus

Tinguely fountain, Basel

the TINGUELY-FOUNTAIN

my most loved fountain in Basel (and there are a lot).
It moves, it sprays, it splashes, it?s fun!

And you should just see it in winter with the ice all over it in bizarre forms.
Basilisken fountain

BASILISKS

Basilisks (after that the town seems to have itīs name) are small dragons.

So you will find dragons everywhere in Basel. The picture shows one of many Basilisk-fountains in the city.

But you can find them also at the Munster (the cathedral), at houses (look at the windows, entrances and doors) and on pillars. and, and and. Itīs actually quite fun looking for them (what we had to do sometime in school) (see my travellogue)

Pros:"very good public transportation, theatres, museums, ..."
Cons:"i am waiting for the old town to become a pedestrian only place."
In A Nutshell:"itīs my town and i like it."

 I've just been looking at the new tips and updates that you have added to your Basel page since my previous visit on April 6, 2005. You are lucky to live there, or nearby. (I have recently also posted a VT page on Basel, in case you want to have a look.)
