We visited the Munster Cathedral after finding all of Basel's museums closed on Mondays. There were few visitors when we were there. The Cathedral recently underwent a major restoration. Beautiful stained glass and several medieval statues graced the back of the church. The cathedral is located on one side of a large plaza and on a hillside overlooking the Rhine... More

It is great to walk round the medieval centre of the cisty. The Munster is imposing and worth a look around. When I visited there were organ recitals that you could attend for no charge.

We were not going to go inside at first but after seeing some people in one of the towers decided that we would also see if we could go up the tower.

The statuary on this cathedral features happy faces, which is kind of fun. Replicas of the exterior statues are placed all around the sanctuary, so that you can see them up close. The red sandstone so typical of Basel makes this building look warm and beautiful. Be sure to visit the cloisters and the Platz behind the cathedral for gorgeous... More
