Basel vibe by Rik Bovens

A lot flows together in the city on the Rhine. As a creative Basel resi­dent by choice, the diverse cultural scene is partic­u­larly close to my heart. The fact that, in addi­tion to art, archi­tec­ture, graphics and design are also an inte­gral part of Basel’s city life is shown by the highest density of museums in Switzer­land. I prefer to spend my time in one of the count­less museums or on a city walk past the picturesque town houses in historic Gross­basel, monu­mental build­ings of renowned offices and lively interim uses. Other­wise, you can meet me at a vernissage in an off-space or with friends in one of the authentic pubs in urban Klein­basel. You can relax in the Lange Erlen and during cosy reading sessions in one of the snack bars on the banks of the Rhine, which becomes a pulsating life­line on sunny days. And fortu­nately, the Rhine city is often blessed with nice weather.
