Basel Street Map Poster

Basel is where the Rhine makes its great bend northward, and that sweeping curve is the defining feature of any street map of the city. The river separates Grossbasel, with its hilltop Altstadt old town and the red sandstone Basler Münster, from the more relaxed Kleinbasel on the opposite bank, linked by the historic Mittlere Brücke. Around the central Marktplatz and the Rathaus, the medieval lanes tangle into the kind of dense pattern that makes a printable poster genuinely interesting to read.

Sitting at the meeting point of Switzerland, France and Germany, Basel has a layout shaped by three borders, and its tram network radiates outward in long, clean spokes. This Switzerland city map balances that tight old core against the broad, calm line of the Rhine.

As wall art it rewards close looking, especially in the midnight blue or blueprint themes. See the full range of Switzerland city maps to assemble a collection, or pair it with the Bern map poster for two riverside Swiss street maps side by side.
