| Basel Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Münsterplatz Münsterplatz www.dubstar.ch Basel, the third largest city of Switzerland, is known as a pharmaceutical multinational centre. However, it would be a bit narrow-minded to leave it at that. Basel is an interesting arty city, split up by the river Rhine and its medieval past is endowed with some of the greatest minds of European history, including Erasmus, Ulrich Zwingli and later Friedrich Nietzsche and Hermann Hesse. Its long-standing patronage of the arts has resulted in a ponoply of first-rate museums and galleries, which are well worth visiting, as is its historic centre. The right bank (better known as Kleinbasel) is the more modern centre. On the left bank (Grossbasel), one can trace the history of Basel in the old town that is ruled by the M?nster cathedral where the bones of the reformist Erasmus are buried. Basel's sights can be easily explored on foot. The highest concentration of sights is around the old marketplace and the cathedral. The hilly surroundings of the city offer some excellent views and walks. Don't miss your chance to stand on the three countries corner (Switzerland, France and Germany). A good day-trip is a visit to Kaiseraugst, just some few kilometres from Basel. Here, you can visit the remnants of the oldest roman city on the Rhine. Remarkable Features: Jean Tinguely Museum, accessible by public transport, near the Roche offices. Great fun for all ages - see and manipulate (sssssssssss) some of the artist's kinetic sculptures. Tinguely fountain in the city proper. It'll make one wonder why all fountains don't make such fun use of water pressure. Fasnacht Festival, once a year - a tradition of costumes, music and fun. ______Sights Edit This Rathaus Rathaus Basel’s main sights can be easily explored on foot.

Situata nella Svizzera nord-occidentale, lungo un'ansa del Reno al confine con Francia e Germania, Basilea è un importante centro industriale del settore chimico e farmaceutico. Costituisce l'ultimo porto fluviale accessibile alle navi di grandi dimensioni, in quanto a monte di essa la navigabilità del fiume è compromessa dalle cascate di Sciaffusa. La regione di Basilea, che si estende nel Baden-Württemberg tedesco (Weil-am-Rhein, Lörrach) e nell'Alsazia francese (Saint-Louis, Huningue), nota in tedesco come Dreiländereck (angolo dei tre Paesi) e in francese come District des trois frontières (distretto delle tre frontiere), testimonia l'eredità dei tre Stati anche con il moderno nome latino di Regio TriRhena. Vi ha sede la più antica università della Confederazione Elvetica (1460). La città è inoltre rinomata per il suo carnevale e per la manifestazione di arte contemporanea Art Basel.
[modifica] StoriaLe origini storiche di Basilea risalgono almeno all’insediamento di epoca imperiale romana che va sotto il nome di Augusta Raurica, per quanto siano state rinvenute in tempi recenti tracce di un insediamento celtico più antico del castello romano. La posizione geografica della città, lungo il corso del Reno, è stata a lungo un elemento che ne ha accresciuto l'importanza. Per molti secoli Basilea è stata la sede dell'unico ponte che attraversasse il fiume tra il Lago di Costanza e il mare.
[modifica] Trasporti
Bus della Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe
Tram della Baselland Transport Basilea ha l'unico porto di carico della Svizzera dal quale le merci passano lungo i tratti navigabili del Reno. EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg è l'unico aeroporto al mondo gestito da tre paesi, Francia e Svizzera e Germania. Contrariamente alla convinzione popolare, l'aeroporto si trova completamente sul suolo francese. L'aeroporto stesso è diviso in due metà architettonicamente indipendenti, una metà serve la parte francese e l'altra metà serve la parte svizzera; c'è un punto doganale al centro dell'aeroporto così che le persone possono "emigrare" all'altro lato dell'aeroporto. Basilea detiene da tempo un ruolo importante come snodo ferroviario. Tre stazioni ferroviarie — quelle delle linee tedesche, francesi e svizzere — si trovano all'interno della città (sebbene la stazione svizzera (Basel SBB) e quella francese siano in verità nello stesso complesso, separate dalla dogana). Esiste anche uno scalo merci. Basilea ha una vasta rete di trasporto pubblica che serve la città e collega i sobborghi circostanti. I locali tram e bus colorati di verde sono gestiti dalla BVB (Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe). I bus e i tram colorati di giallo sono gestiti dalla BLT (Baselland Transport) e collegano aree del vicino half-canton di Basel-Land alla Basilea centrale. I tram sono alimentati elettricamente e la flotta di bus è costituita da veicoli elettrici e da veicoli convenzionali alimentati con carburante. La BVB condivide anche linee di bus pendolari in cooperazione con le autorità di transito con la confinante Alsazia in Francia e Baden in Germania.
[modifica] Industria e commercio
Sede della
BIZ
Una fiera federale svizzera a cadenza annuale (Mustermesse) si svolge a Kleinbasel sulla riva delstra del Reno. Tra le altre importanti manifestazioni fieristiche troviamo "Basel" (orologi e gioielleria), Art, Orbit e Cultura. L'industria chimica svizzera opera largamente da Basilea con Novartis, Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Clariant e Hoffmann-La Roche che hanno qui la loro sede. Farmaceutica e chimica specializzata sono diventate il fulcro moderno della produzione industriale della città. Alcune delle principali scoperte dell'industria chimica cittadina comprendono DDT, Araldite e LSD. La banca UBS AG mantiene i suoi uffici centrali a Basilea, dando alla finanza un ruolo cardine nell'economia locale. L'importanza delle banche ebbe inizio quando la Bank for International Settlements aprì i suoi uffici in città nel 1930. L'innovativa industria finanziaria di Basilea comprende istituzioni come il Comitato di Basilea sulla supervisione bancaria. Responsabile per gli Accordi di Basilea, questa organizzazione ha cambiato radicalmente la gestione del rishio. Basilea ha la costruzione più alta della Svizzera, la Basler Messeturm.
[modifica] QuartieriBasilea non è suddivisa in contee, distretti o borghi ufficiali ma in quartieri non ufficiali. Ci sono 19 quartieri; i comuni di Riehen e Bettingen non sono inclusi.
[modifica] PoliticaGeopoliticamente la città di Basilea ha funzioni di capitale del semi-cantone svizzero di Basilea Città benché diversi dei suoi sobborghi facciano parte del semi-cantone di Basilea Campagna o del cantone di Argovia.
[modifica] IstruzioneBasilea ospita la più vecchia università della Svizzera, l'Università di Basilea, datata 1459. Erasmo da Rotterdam, Paracelso, Daniel Bernoulli, Leonhard Euler e Friedrich Nietzsche lavorarono qui. Più recentemente ha acquisito rilievo il suo lavoro sulla medicina tropicale. Basilea è famosa per le varie società scientifiche, come la Società Entomologica di Basilea (Entomologische Gesellschaft Basel, EGB) che ha celebrato il suo centesimo anniversario nel 2005.
[modifica] Architettura
Cattedrale Münster
La romanica Münster, con le sue due torri irregolari, costituisce un monumento architetturale sopravvissuto al terremoto medievale. Al suo interno si trova la tomba di Erasmo da Rotterdam. Basilea ospita inoltre un insieme di costruzioni di architetti internazionalmente riconosciuti come la Fondazione Beyeler di Renzo Piano, o il complesso Vitra presso Weil am Rhein costituito da tre costruzioni di Zaha Hadid (stazione dei vigili del fuoco), Frank Gehry (museo del design), Tadao Ando (centro congressi), Mario Botta (museo Jean Tinguely e Banca di pagamenti Internazionali) e diverse costruzioni di Herzog & de Meuron (originari di Basilea ma conosciuti come architetti del Tate Modern di Londra).

[modifica] Personaggi
[modifica] SportBasilea in Svizzera ha una reputazione come città sportiva di successo. La squadra di calcio F.C._Basilea conferma questa reputazione nella città che sarà una delle sedi del Campionato europeo 2008, così come Ginevra, Zurigo e Berna. I campionati saranno ospitati congiuntamente da Svizzera and Austria. Il più grande evento indoor di tennis si svolge a Basilea ogni ottobre. I migliori professionisti ATP giocano ogni anno al "Davidoff Swiss Indoors". Nel 2002 il campionato mondiale di Judo ebbe luogo a Basilea. Basilea ha un grande stadio di calcio (St. Jakob-Park), un moderno palazzo per l'hockey su ghiaccio ed un palazzetto.
[modifica] CulturaBasilea ha la reputazione di essere una delle città culturali più importanti d'Europa. Nel 1997 si è battuta per diventare la "Capitale Europea della Cultura". Nel maggio 2004 si è aperto il quinto Festival dei Giovani Cori (EJCF): questa tradizione Basilea iniziò nel 1992. Ospite di questo festival è il locale Coro dei Ragazzi di Basilea. La città è anche conosciuta per "L'Elite di Basilea", il circolo sociale signorile e di antica ricchezza di cui la città è più che soddisfatta. anche se tecnicamente la Svizzera non può avere una nobiltà, perché non è mai stata una monarchia, l'Elite di Basilea è la cosa che più le si avvicina, ed è rappresentata come tale dalla familiarità con le odierne nobiltà delle nazioni confinanti. Un esempio è la famiglia DeBâle di Allschwil, che ha vissuto in quest'area per secoli, ma non accettò la nobiltà conferitale dai monarchi. Il carnevale della città di Basilea (Basler Fasnacht) è il maggior evento culturale dell'anno. Il carnevale è uno dei più importanti della Svizzera e attira una grande folla ogni anno nonostante il fatto che inizi alle quattro del mattino (Morgestraich) e dura esattamente per 72 ore ospitando varie parate.
