Welcome to Basel, the "Christmas Capital" of Switzerland. In this 4K walking tour, we take you through the heart of the historic Old Town to explore the two main festive hubs: Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz.
​From the iconic giant Christmas tree at the Minster (decorated by the world-famous Johann Wanner) to the 13-meter-high Christmas pyramid, you’ll see why Basel is consistently voted one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe. 🎄
​What we explore in this video:
​Barfüsserplatz: The bustling heart of the market with over 155 rustic wooden chalets and the famous Christmas pyramid.
​Münsterplatz: A fairytale setting right in front of the historic Basel Minster cathedral, featuring the "Fairytale Forest" for kids and artisanal crafts.
​Swiss Delicacies: Watch as we find the legendary Fondue Dog (a baguette filled with melted cheese!), Basel Läckerli (gingerbread), and steaming mugs of Glühwein.
A quick stop to see the stunning red sandstone building and the Basel Wish Book.
