MÙnster, Basel Overview

MÙnster is an impressive Gothic cathedral with spires that is open to the public.

This cathedral was destroyed after an earthquake back in 1356. When it was re-built, the exteriors were typically Gothic in style while the interiors were more Romanesque. Two or more people can climb up the long Gothic towers, for CHF 5 per person. The interiors also portray several figures such as St.George slaying the dragon. There are a number of towers too, each one as beautiful as the other. MÙnster also offers you a stunning view of the River Rhine and you can even spot the Black Forest and Alsace in the glimmering distance from here.
