Basel Audio Tour: Cathedrals, Codes & Cultural Crossroads

Audio guide11 stops

A city where a globe-spanning financial network pulses beneath gothic spires and riverside facades—Basel hides centuries of power, intrigue, and reinvention behind its stately walls. With this self-guided audio tour, wander through stories that unfold where bankers and bishops once changed Europe’s fate. Trace secrets and scandals most visitors never suspect, as you step between ages and atmospheres at your own pace. Who tried to destroy the Bank for International Settlements in broad daylight—and why were they never caught? What shadowy alliance haunted the hallowed stones of Basel Minster for generations? Did a coded message once pass through the doors of Bank J. Safra Sarasin, sparking panic on three continents? Move through winding alleys and grand piazzas, feeling the drama of vanished empires and hidden deals with every step. Basel’s true face emerges for those bold enough to seek it. Press play. See beneath the surface, and let Basel’s secrets reveal themselves.
