Romantic, amazing, mysterious and shrouded in legend - all of these characteristics apply to the St. Alban Quarter. The lovingly restored quarter is criss-crossed by small canals and is a real insider tip. Here you will encounter history and the present, traditional crafts and early industrial buildings, old half-timbered houses and modern architecture, the medieval paper mill and the museum for contemporary art, or simply life in the city, then and now. You will be enchanted!

Beautiful neighborhood in the city of Basel. Pleasantly quiet, close to the Rhine
