Basel wears its long history lightly: a medieval gate left standing when the city walls came down, Switzerland's most ornate Gothic fountain, a bright-red Renaissance town hall, an earthquake-scarred cathedral of red sandstone above the Rhine, and a fountain of dancing scrap-metal machines. This self-guided walking tour traces that endlessly reinventive city through its compact old town, from the Spalentor to the Rhine. Everything runs from your smartphone, with no app to download. You get a clear map of all 9 stops, simple directions, and a short audio story with an interactive quiz at each location. Audio and text come in 7 languages: English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese. There is no guide and no group. Start whenever you like, pause for a coffee on the Marktplatz, linger on the Munsterplatz terrace, and pick the route back up when you are ready. Walk it at your own pace, in any weather, on any day of the year.
