This is the main meeting point for the citizens of Basel. The water fountain was built by the swiss artist Jean Tinguely using pieces of the old theater that formerly existed in this space. During wintertime, the fountain becomes alive with its icicles, forming true natural ice sculptures.
Our next stop will be the Elisabeth Church. Known in the German language as Elisabethenkirche, or Offene Kirche Elisabethen, this is a 19th century church built in a Swiss Gothic Revival style. Construction begun in 1857 and was completed in 1864, and was sponsored by the wealthy Basel businessman Christoph Merian, and his wife Margarethe Burckhardt-Merian. Both now rest in a black marble sarcophagus in the crypt of this church.
Time to head out to feel the medieval ages, passing the Knights Street, or Rittergasse. Known in Basel as the mother of all streets, with its medieval architecture. This is the perfect spot to learn about how the city developed along the centuries.
Then we will get to the Münster Cathedral, the main picture-perfect sight of Basel. You will be awed by its 12-15th mixture of romanic and gothic styles, surrounded by a large and stunning square that hosts many events. Behind the cathedral we will pass the Münster Pfalz, to enjoy the view towards the city, the Rhine river and the neighborhood of Kleinbasel.
Some steps away we find the City Hall (Rathaus von Basel). A eye catching building located in the old market square of Basel (Marktplatz), it will call out to you with its red color. Dont forget to enjoy its beautiful façade and the interior patio with the statue of Munatius Plancus, the roman founder of the city.
Lets head out then to the The Blue and The White House (Blaues und Weisses Haus) are two baroque mansions on the Rheinsprung built by the architect Samuel Werenfels for the brothers Lukas and Jakob Sarasin in the 18th century. Their descendants founded the Bank Sarasin & Cie. in Basel. Nowadays, they are the seat of the Department for Economy, Social Welfare and Environment.
Now we will get to the Mittlere Brücke (Middle Bridge), one of the oldest monuments in town. It was first inaugurated in 1226, becoming one of the most important bridges over the Rhine that connected to the famous Gotthard Pass.
From here we will go back into the old town, once again passing the MarktPlatz, towards Barfüsserplatz, located in the city center. It is one of the most important crossing spots in Basels public transportation system. It is also in front of the Barfüsserkirche, or Church of the Bare Feet. Inhabited since 1100, the Franciscan order of Monks built a monastery here in 1256. It is from them that the square got its name from, since the Franciscans where known in German as the Bare Feet for their vow of poverty.
We can either end the tour here and set you on your own discovery through the city center, or take you to the nearby Tinguely Fountain for a better known place for your send off into Basel.ADDITIONAL INFOWheelchair accessibleInfants and small children can ride in a pram or strollerPublic transportation options are available nearbyInfants are required to sit on an adults lapAll areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessibleNot recommended for pregnant travelersNot recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular healthSuitable for all physical fitness levelsNot wheelchair accessibleThis tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travelersCANCELLATION POLICYFor a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.(For information purpose only - definite start times will show on voucher, once confirmed) -

Hydrofoil and surfing on the Rhine behind a motorboat
- Type:Boat and Watersports Rentals
- Duration:1 Hours
OVERVIEWYou are guaranteed to experience positive emotions with us. We take the boat past the border triangle and then start downriver with the water sports. With foiling we give you a whole new feeling, you seem to be flying over the water. Those who prefer to stay in touch with the surface of the water can try surfing.INCLUDESMotor boat with skipper, instructor, foil/surf equipment, life jacket, helmet.MEETING AND PICKUPMeeting pointWestquaistrasse 39The meeting point is at the Regioport marina at Westquaistrasse 39, 4057 Basel. Tram 8 or bus 36 to Kleinhüningen, then follow the Wiese river downstream, at the estuary turn right and follow the Rhein river downstream.Options and Start timeHydrofoil and surfing on the Rhine behind a motorboat:02:00 PM, 04:00 PM, 06:00 PM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PMEnd pointThis activity ends back at the meeting point.WHAT TO EXPECTThe session starts in the Regioport near the border triangle. We then take the boat a little down the river to start training after crossing the French border. The conditions there are very good, the Rhine is wider and there is less current, so we can practice the sport safely outside the channel of the big ships.
When foiling you are pulled by our boat with a tow line, even at low speed the underwater wings lift the board and you seem to be flying above the water surface. With our foil sup pro carbon board from Indiana with a volume of 87 liters and a length of 5'9, it's relatively easy to start standing or kneeling. It has enough buoyancy and is stable, ideal for starting. For the more advanced we have a smaller board with less buoyancy.
During the surf session you will be pulled off our boat on a surfboard, similar to wakeboarding you hold on to the tow line, but your feet are not connected to the board.Duration: 1 hourADDITIONAL INFOPublic transportation options are available nearbyNot recommended for travelers with spinal injuriesNot recommended for pregnant travelersNot recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular healthTravelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitnessNot wheelchair accessibleThis tour/activity will have a maximum of 4 travelersCANCELLATION POLICYFor a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.This experience requires good weather.
