View from Wettsteinbrücke (Wettstein bridge), overlooking the city of Basel.
Upstream view. The prominent high-rise building is the Roche Tower, Building 1 (completed in 2015). At 178 m (584 ft), it is the tallest building in Switzerland. Construction on a second, even higher tower, Building 2, is in progress.
Downstream view. Looking towards the city center. The Basel Minster (completed in 1500) lays on the southern side of the river.
A closer look at Basel Minster.
In order to cross the river, you can either use one of the city’s five bridges, or, as a romantic alternative, use the service of the “Fährimaa” (“ferry man”) by boarding one of the four Rhine ferries.
