Tour around Basel with Shafeeq

Thanks Shafeeq for being a great host and tour guide!! Old Basel was stunning and learning about “Big Basel” and “Little Basel” was a good history lesson. The working class used to live on the other side of the river in little Basel then go to big Basel to work/serve the upper class. There is still a feeling of superiority in big Basel today!

For a smaller city, there are plenty of festivals inviting the locals out to celebrate throughout the year! The Fall Festival sounds impressive.

You’ll see the Basilisks in the pictures, a mystical animal unique to Basel. It’s part snake, rooster, and dragon.Lue lisää
