Basel Switzerland 4K - Morning Drive - Driving Downtown

Weekday morning drive around Basel Switzerland. Known for Miami's Art Basel, Roger Federer, the University of Basel founded 1460, the worlds' first public art museum Kunstmuseum founded 1661, famous philosphers, ranked as a top ten most liveable cities in the world, etc. Switzerland is "No Drama".

Basel is a city on the Rhine River in northwest Switzerland, close to the country’s borders with France and Germany. Its medieval old town centers around Marktplatz, dominated by the 16th-century, red-sandstone Town Hall. Its 12th-century Gothic cathedral has city views, and contains the tomb of the 16th-century Dutch scholar, Erasmus. The city’s university houses some of Erasmus’ works.

Switzerland is a mountainous Central European country, home to numerous lakes, villages and the high peaks of the Alps. Its cities contain medieval quarters, with landmarks like capital Bern’s Zytglogge clock tower and Lucerne’s wooden chapel bridge. The country is also known for its ski resorts and hiking trails. Banking and finance are key industries, and Swiss watches and chocolate are world renowned.

Basel is a city in northwestern Switzerland on the river Rhine. Basel is Switzerland's third-most-populous city (after Zürich and Geneva) with about 200,000 inhabitants. The official language of Basel is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local Basel German dialect.
Basel is commonly considered to be the cultural capital of Switzerland. Basel is famous for its many museums, ranging from the Kunstmuseum, the first collection of art accessible to the public in the world (1661) and the largest museum of art in Switzerland, to the Fondation Beyeler (located in Riehen) and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Basel), the first public museum of contemporary art in Europe. Forty museums are spread throughout the city-canton, making Basel one of the largest cultural centres in relation to its size and population in Europe.
The University of Basel, Switzerland's oldest university (founded in 1460), and the city's centuries-long commitment to humanism, have made Basel a safe haven at times of political unrest in other parts of Europe for such notable people as Erasmus of Rotterdam, the Holbein family, Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Jung, and in the 20th century also Hermann Hesse and Karl Jaspers.
Basel was the seat of a Prince-Bishopric starting in the 11th century, and joined the Swiss Confederacy in 1501. The city has been a commercial hub and an important cultural centre since the Renaissance, and has emerged as a centre for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in the 20th century. In 1897, Basel was chosen by Theodor Herzl as the location for the first World Zionist Congress, and altogether the congress has been held there ten times over a time span of 50 years, more than in any other location. The city is also home to the world headquarters of the Bank for International Settlements. The name of the city is internationally known through institutions like the Basel Accords, Art Basel and FC Basel.
In 2019 Basel was ranked among the ten most liveable cities in the world by Mercer together with Zürich and Geneva.

Right at the start (0:15) I saw some great architecture. The cultural capital of Switzerland, full of art museums, a center for education and philosophy, and before I saw this video I had never even heard of Basel! I sure feel stupid!

[@KingKong_CH]

The buildings are from Herzog & de Meuron they are architectures from Basel. Their buildings are all over the world and look very abstract. Basel is a very small city but is packed with 40 museums, no idea why though.

[@jamesr1703]

Imagine arriving here in the morning, someone handing you keys to your car, pointing to a building and saying, "That's where you live now.", and giving you the keys to an apartment. Then they quietly walk away. Thank goodness my grandmother taught me high German. This really happened to me.

You might get an answer quicker if you address your questions directly to *J Utah,* like this: *J Utah:* I've noticed that some uploaders seem to get the message quicker if their names are *bolded* with a colon after the name - it will show up in their Notifications drop-down. Worth a try!

[@simoonsdp1471]

Basel has actually way more than 200'000 inhabitants. The 200'000 inhabitants are the ones living in the municipality which only includes downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods(where you were driving through). Neighborhoods further away from the city centre and all suburbs are not included in the municipality. The urban area has about 800'000 inhabitants and the metropolitan area about 1 Million.

[@leonamay8776]

The entire canton of Basel-Stadt (think of it like a state) has a bit more than 200'000 inhabitants. Basel-Landschaft (the neighboring canton) has a bit less than 300'000 i habitats. But if you do look at the metropolitan area, which includes parts of France and Germany? Then yeah, about 1.3 million people.
