If you have a passion for architecture, Basel is right up your street with fabulous architecture - because this city welcomes the new. On our tour you will be able to learn more about the fantastic modern buildings in the city, which provide a stunning contrast to the many buildings dating back as far as the 15th century.
Local architects such as the famous duos Herzog & de Meuron, Morger & Degelo or Diener & Diener thrill the world with buildings that delight the senses and are particularly committed to improving and developing their native region. However, it is not only local architects that have left their mark on the city and its suburbs in recent years - award-winning foreign architects such as Richard Meier, Frank O. Gehry and Zaha Hadid have also been attracted by Basel's beauty. Today the Basel region contains buildings designed by no fewer that nine Pritzker Prize-winning architects - such a wealth of top-class modern architecture in such a compact area really is unique in the world.
