Basel - a fairy tale come true🎉

Basel is full of contrasts❤️🔥 Here the old town, there modern buildings. A combination of tradition and innovation. Culture and architecture in between. A city of art and at the same time a metropolis with a high quality of life and enjoyment on the Rhine. Let yourself be inspired by these contrasts. Basel is a green city: the Botanical Garden, several parks and the banks of the Rhine are great for walking and relaxing. And the Etoscha enclosure in Switzerland's largest zoo offers a glimpse into the life of the Namibian savannah. The annual carnival is one of the most important events in the life of the city's residents. On the Monday after Ash Wednesday (when Lent begins), the city is transformed with the Morgenstraich - at four o'clock in the morning all the city lights are lit up and a festive procession moves through the streets of Basel. #basel #switzerland #switzerland🇨🇭
