A few years ago my husband and I visited Switzerland with my sister-in-law and her husband. When we arrived in Basel, we planned to rest a bit and then wait for the bus to Zurich. Basel was just a passing destination that turned into a very nice visit. Although we planned to spend some time there, we stayed almost the whole day.
While we were flying high above the clouds, I was very excited and looking forward to our visit.
It was our first visit to Switzerland, a country where the streets are quiet and empty during working hours and full of life after.
While we were walking through Basel, we admired the architecture of this historic city.
We saw one of the most famous sights of this city - Basel Minster, the Catholic cathedral.
And another religious building that I especially liked because it was not an ordinary church. It is called the Elisabethenkirche.
This church is open to everyone, regardless of what they believe. That's what fascinated me the most because I value freedom very much. This is not a typical church because it hosts various social and cultural events and gatherings.
At one of the city squares, we saw an interesting sculpture of Rudolf Riggenbach, an important historical figure of this city. Looking at this sculpture, I had the impression that I was talking to him. 🙂
I liked the colors we were surrounded by. Each building had its own colorful stories, such as the cultural museum and the city library.
Or the red roses on the fence we passed.
We came across a wedding by chance and it was interesting for us to stop and take a look.
It was so peaceful unlike weddings in my country which are very noisy. The moment they let the balloons fly was very special. Simple and beautiful.
In Basel, I enjoyed the view of the beautiful Rhine river the most.
The day passed very quickly and it was time to go to the bus station and wait for the bus to Zurich, which I will write about in one of the following posts. 🙂
Thank you very much for reading.
The images and writing are original and mine.

Hey @jelenaa is this user your friend? https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@lara88/my-first-time-on-hive--self-introduction-#@jacobtothe/re-lara88-rdsetz
Is she legit? Her weekend post is fake and is not about her weekend, that, along with her overall account makes her quite questionable. Can you shed any light on it please? thanks
Hello @livinguktaiwan . I know Lara from another writing platform - readcash. She writes interesting posts there and I could conclude through communication with her that she is a very pleasant and kind person. She is a medical student. When she joined Hive she asked me to help her with some tips for the introduction post. I guess she's still exploring and doesn't know how everything works here yet. I can give her advice on how to use her photos that are relevant and in line with the community rules.
