It’s easy to forget how it’s at least 20% more expensive in Basel compared to other locations I’ve stayed and visited so far in Germany and Austria. However, Basel SBB is sizeable, and Migros’ own eatery has many many choices; also, fresh flowers! But to buy, not to eat. A big positive is that the coffee is very good. Here are some other things I saw in Basel, earlier today on travel day 80.
And by the way, yesterday I passed the 1-million number in walking steps for this entire trip.
Basel SBB / Basel central station.
Zum Spalenbrunnen, towards Spalentor in the distance at right.
Door-knocker at Gailingen Synagogue, 1836; saved from destruction during the 1938 Pogrom. (Jewish Museum of Switzerland.)
1901 image, Theodor Herzl on the balcony of Basel’s Three Kings hotel, overlooking the Mittlerebrücke (Middle Bridge) and the Rhine river. Reproduction in Berlin, 1927. (Jewish Museum of Switzerland.)
A modest memorial plaque, on a building in Riehen, north from Basel.
“Leonard Euler (1707-1783): mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, and philosopher, spent his youth here in Riehen. He was a great teacher and a kind person.” The building isn’t an original, but his family home was in the vicinity.
The laughing/joking king, 1914.
Les Trois Rois / The Three Kings hotel.
Promenade below various room-balconies at The Three Kings hotel, next to the Rhine river and the Mittlerebrücke (middle bridge).

A very red Rathaus (City Hall) in late-afternoon light.
I made all photos above with an iPhone15 on 26 Jul 2024. I received no support from an external organization. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
