È PIÙ SACRO VEDERE CHE CREDERE - MANGIARE, BERE, AMARE, MORIRE

Salomone scrive anche che non si può conoscere lo splendore quando si crede alle promesse e agli anatemi divini, malgrado l’esplicito divieto di nominare invano il Suo nome; quando si crede alle cose così come vanno fatte, e alle regole e alle norme, e a qualsiasi altro piccolo trucco per abolire le leggi che legano ogni essere all’altro; dice Salomone che non è possibile conoscere lo splendore se si spera di essere felici praticando l’infelicità, se si gioca infantilmente con le speranze, e si perde tempo dando i numeri contabili: lo splendore, dice Salomone, lo si può conoscere solo dedicandosi  con cura e arte a quanto comunemente brilla e folgora: mangiare, bere, amare, morire.

Auszug Der Saisonkoch - Die Sommersaison

Auszug Der Saisonkoch – Die Sommersaison

In Andalo legen wir keine Pause ein. Konrad will bis zum Molvenosee. Irgendwie hat der einen Namen bei meinen Motorradfreunden. Kaum sind wir am See angekommen, beginnt die Suche nach einem Parkplatz. Das klingt jetzt wie ein Witz. Mit dem Zweirad einen Parkplatz suchen. Die Plätze sind alle überfüllt. Wir finden nicht mal ein Plätzchen zum Pinkeln. Ich schätze, wir müssen etwas weiter in…

A complete guide to travel Basel

In your free time, are you considering taking a trip? Choosing the ideal destination for your trip? You can then get an idea of where to go from here. Thus, Basel, a stunning city in Switzerland where you can have the most memorable experiences of your life, is the greatest spot to travel to while on vacation. Basel is a wonderful combination of the old and the new, with a buzzing atmosphere, a city steeped in traditions, and a devoted population. In your free time, there are lots of enjoyable activities to do there. In addition, it has a reputation among couples as the ideal honeymoon resort. You can go for a Switzerland day tour because you will see many romantic attractions in the beautiful surroundings, lovely locales, and taste yummy delicious Swiss chocolates. With the help of Switzerland tour guides, it is time to include Basel as another interesting journey on your schedule. You can get inspiration for places to see in Basel here:

Kunstmuseum Basel

At this outstanding museum, you may take in the largest and richest collection of art in Switzerland. The list of names, which starts with Konrad Witz, Lucas Cranach, the Elder, and Hans Holbein, speaks for itself. And the museum grew from an early collection of works. Dutch masters include Rubens, Brueghel the Elder, and Rembrandt. Van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne, Manet, and Gauguin's artwork from the 19th century is on display. The Kunstmuseum features a whole room dedicated to Picasso's artwork. Additionally, the collection of 20th-century art includes works by Giacometti, Klee, Franz Marc, Braque, and Chagall, to name a few.

In the Rhine, swim

Most of all, like to enjoy swimming. The Rhine is the ideal location for swimming in Basel, and locals and visitors favor it as their favorite pastime. Grab a Wickelfisch and visit the Tingley Museum if you are in Basel. Then take everything out of the room except your bathing suit and place it in your Wickelfisch. After stripping down, jump in the Rhine, where you can float for up to two kilometers. Once in the water, you will relax and enjoy the city's beauty.

Jean Tinguely Museum

Due to a substantial gift from his wife, Niki de Saint Phalle, and contributions from other collectors, the Jean Tinguely Museum has amassed the largest collection of the works of this important Swiss artist. Along with a huge archive of paperwork and images, the group also contains sculptures and drawings by Tinguely. The museum also exhibits temporary exhibitions that rotate every three months and focus on contemporary art and artists who inspired Tinguely. Mario Botta, a well-known architect, created the structure that houses the collection. These are the important thing you need to visit Jean Tinguely Museum while traveling to Basel.

City Hall of Basel

In front of Basel City Hall is where you can find the hub for the city's tram system, Marktplatz. Locals and visitors gather in the area for the daily market. Huge sums of money were spent on constructing the massive red sandstone castle in the 16th century. The 12 coats of arms of the Old Swiss Confederacy are only one of the amazing artworks you will see. One of the nicest sites to visit on day trips from Basel is the courtyard, which also houses a monument of Basel's founder Lucius Munatius Plancus and a fresco painted by Hans Bock in the 17th century. In 1580, a statue of Lucius Munatius Plancus was created.

Markets for food to taste

Basel is the greatest place to go if you enjoy eating because there are several food markets where you can get fresh, organic goods directly from farmers. In Marktplatz, also known as a market square, you may find plenty of fresh, homegrown food to satisfy your hunger. The phrase Markt Halle describes a place where one can find various treats from around the world all under one roof.

The River Rhine

You will be surprised to know that the ferries frequently operate without any form of propulsion because of the strong river currents. One of the nicest sites to visit in Basel, it is a very interesting sight to see the boats racing around the lake. Along the river, there are several portions. The swimming area for experienced swimmers is one of them and is called Badhysli. People can also be seen taking naps in shallow water. This creates a resort-like atmosphere in the summer as people gather to enjoy the sun and sip coffee on cafe terraces. In the summer, there are a lot of beaches that are popular for water sports, swimming, and grilling.

Bottom Line

As you can see, Basel, Switzerland, is a fantastic city to visit when on vacation, as described above. Once you explore the old town and go past the church, where there are countless things to see and do, you will fall in love with Basel and all of these things. So, if you are getting ready to travel to Basel, you can go to the abovementioned places. After seeing those locations, Basel, Switzerland, will win your heart.
