Why go
The terrace places the Minster and the Rhine in the same short walk. From its elevated edge, the river crossings and opposite bank are easier to understand than from the narrow old-town streets. It offers a clear viewpoint and a pause between nearby historic sights, particularly after time around the cathedral.
What to look for
- Elevated Rhine and Kleinbasel panorama.
- Terrace directly behind Basel Minster.
Useful to know
- Approach from the Minster precinct to include the viewpoint in an old-town walk.
