View of the Rhine from Basel Minster Pfalz

The eastern end of the  Basel Minster has further Romanesque elements, although it is easy to get distracted by the views from the Pfalz, a broad terrace overlooking the Rhine. Once used as the bishop’s garden, it is now a public viewpoint beloved by locals and visitors alike. From here, you can watch the steady flow of river barges, or simply relax with one of Basel’s most beautiful vistas.
