This live camera looks out over Basel, the city on the Rhine where Switzerland, France and Germany meet. It is a practical window onto the city's current conditions, useful before a visit or simply to see how the day is unfolding. The stream is provided by the hotel that operates it.
About Basel
Basel sits on a broad bend of the Rhine at the border with France and Germany, and it has a long history as a centre of trade, banking and pharmaceuticals. Its old town is compact, with medieval streets, the Münster cathedral on a hill above the river and a lively cultural scene. The city is small enough to explore on foot or by tram, which makes it easy to combine a stay here with day trips into the surrounding region.
What the camera shows
Because this is a hotel camera in the city centre, the view is of urban streets and rooftops rather than a natural landscape. Depending on the angle, you may see traffic, pedestrians and the changing light over the buildings. Views are most interesting in the morning and late afternoon, when the light is warm, and on clear days when the surrounding hills are visible. Weather changes are easy to judge from the street.
Climate and getting around
Basel has a temperate climate with warm summers and cool, often grey winters. Spring and early autumn are generally the most comfortable times to visit. The airport is shared with France and is well connected by bus and tram. Nearby cameras on this site include the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, a short distance across the German border, and the Eichsel view further afield.
