Basel: Middle Bridge Webcam

Basel: Middle Bridge

Basel is Switzerland's third-largest city, located on the banks of the Rhine River, with a population of around 180,000 people. Known as a global hub for pharmaceuticals, it's home to major companies like Roche and Novartis, which drive its economy. The city is also famous for its cultural scene, hosting the renowned Art Basel fair and having over 40 museums, including the Kunstmuseum and Fondation Beyeler.

The Middle Bridge (Mittlere Brücke) in Basel, dating back to 1225, is one of the city's oldest and most significant landmarks, connecting the central part of Basel with Kleinbasel. The webcam situated nearby captures the lively scene of trams crossing the bridge, along with pedestrians and cyclists making their way across. You can also see a local restaurant with an open terrace, and across the river, the historic Alte Universität, one of Basel's most prominent academic buildings, stands proudly on the horizon.
