(NEW) Here's the new updated video about "Moving to Switzerland" 🇨🇭👍🏻:
czcams.com/video/57DA9rEOKDk/video.html
We were there in 2018. It was the first City in Europe where I felt at home. We were there in the summer. The weather was perfect, and we found the people to be very cordial to us as tourists. I would sincerely like to return someday. Great food, pastry, and chocolate. Shopping for most anything was nearby and I especially liked all the watch shops. Language was not a barrier for us as English speakers, except in the Oris shop. Our fault, not theirs. All in all we loved it there.
Nice to hear! All the best and thank you for your comment. 👍🏻
Going to be visiting Basel for 4 days in 6 weeks time as part of a Switzerland holiday tour, will be first time in Basel and looking forward to it enormously.
The most beautiful city ever
Thanks for your comment David! 👍🏻
Ja das stimmt, ich bin Basler und sogar Basler Bürger und ich kenne keine schönere Stadt wie Basel, wenn Basel nur nicht so überfremdet wäre so dass man sich als waschechter Basler in seiner eigenen Heimat nicht mehr wohl fühlt ... ja das ist leider so !!!
@@pauligysin Welch totaler Schwachsinn, den Sie hier von sich geben. Basel ist nicht "überfremdet". Von Basler zu Basler.
@@celloswiss Ok, für Ihre Antwort gibt es 4 mögliche Erklärungen:
- Sie laufen mit Tomaten auf den Augen herum und wollen die Realität einfach nicht sehen
- Sie sind von der SP und Basel ist leider sehr stark in den Händen der SP
- Sie sind von den Grünen und das ist noch schlimmer wie die SP
- Oder Sie wollen die Realität einfach nicht sehen und meinen mit Schönreden würde sich die Situation ändern
Sorry, ich bin auf dem Bruderholz aufgewachsen und ging im Gündülü (damals noch Gundeli) in die Schule. Wir hatten damals noch Geschichtsunterricht, ich weiss heute noch sehr viel über die Schweizer Geschichte ... heute gibt es keine Schweizer Geschichte mehr an der Schule, logisch, klar, wie soll Schweizer Geschichte dem Schüler unterrichtet werden wenn 2/3 der Schüler Ausländer sind (sorry man sagt ja Mitbürger mit Migrationshintergrund das tönt schöner aber auf Baseldeutsch sagt man dem "ein fremder Fötzel")
Das ging so weit dass ich mich in meiner Heimat nicht mehr zu Hause fühlte und seit dem lebe ich auf den grossen Antillen, dort wo andere Ferien machen, aber weit weg vom Tourismus, weit weg von Europäern und Amis. Hier haben wir auch keine Türken, keine Jugos und keine Albaner denn hier gibt es keine Sozialhilfe wo man gemütlich davon leben kann. Ich habe meinen Job komplett geändert und pflanze heute Bäume an, Bäume die auf der roten Liste für aussterbende Arten sind, darum hat das Holz auch einen dementsprechenden Preis und da ich diese Bäume auf eigenem Land in Plantage anpflanze habe ich auch die Bewilligung die Bäume zu fällen und das Holz zu verkaufen.
Wenn ich jetzt nach Basel komme lasse ich mich in einem Hotel im Gross-Basel nieder, diese Reisen sind aber nur um Sachen einzukaufen die ich hier nicht bekomme, das fängt aber schon bei Roggen und Dinkelmehl an und geht weiter bis zu Landwirtschaftlichen Geräten und Traktoren da ich keine John Deere Maschinen will. Sonst ist es mir sehr wohl in der Karibik da habe ich meine Schmiede, meine Schreinerei mit Europäischen Maschinen und den Forstbetrieb und da spreche ich von ein paar hundert Hektaren (paar klein geschrieben) also was soll ich noch im überfremdeten Basel ... der grösste Fehler der da gemacht wurde war dass die Schwarzenbach-Initiative abgelehnt wurde, dass Basel von der SP regiert wird, die Personenfreizügigkeit mit der EU und dass alles nicht komplett aus dem Ruder läuft haben wir zum Glück noch Christof Blocher und die SVP die leider auch nicht mehr das ist was sie mal war. Also liebe Grüsse an das überfremdete Gross-Basel
@@pauligysin ☺ ein Fremder in der Karibik spricht über Fremde in Basel. Und Sie denken nicht 1 Sekunde darüber nach, dass Sie selbst ein Ausländer (in der Karibik) sind.
Sie haben auch das Video nicht verstanden. Basel ist nunmal Basel, weil die Stadt seit immer international ist. Das macht die Stadt so Lebenswert.
real heaven!!! wonderful peoples of basel are really gifted and blessed!!!!!
Basel is the city in Switzerland I love most
I had the opportunity to visit Basel in 2019. One thing that you forgot to mention is the friendly nature of the residents here. Basel Munster is an interesting attraction as well. Also, people can easily walk in the city as well. I think you should visit Freiburg and talk about the hike to Black Forest.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Romeo Zain instablaster :)
@Colten Ronald Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Colten Ronald It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Romeo Zain Glad I could help xD
Not to forget Basel have the greatest Football Club in Switzerland. And also the greatest fans.
I am going there in the summer. Thanks for the informative video.
Stayed there for a month in 2014. Wonderful visit. Thank you for refreshing the memories.♥️
I used to live in Basel, and in this video you really capture the nature of it in detail.
Your video was a deciding factor whether to stay a few days in Basel or travel to Lucerne after our river cruise ends...we're staying in Basel! Thank you for the great information!
Thank yoi Joskietube! I'm glad you liked this video😃
A warm welcome to this channel and have a great stay in Basel!
When I traveled from Bern to Basel this summer, I actually saw that it was even 5 degrees warmer in Basel than in Bern.
Nice! It's true - Basel is warmer than most other Swiss cities :)
A warm welcome to this channel 🙂
Thank you for the video.
So beautiful and informative 👍🏼👍🏼
truly mind blowing
happy "Einwohner" of Basel for almost 10 years now :)
Superb! Hope you like it in Basel :)
A warm welcome to this channel!
Well done video , visited Basel during summer and Christmas time , impressed by culture and architecture , the river , the market , people are relaxed , very clean town... hope to return !
We were there June 2022 right at Art Basel. There were many outdoor art sculptures that were fun to see. Also rode the bus to see the Roman theatre and museum at Augusta Raurica - a really nice day trip.
Lovely, interesting, amazing ,and beautiful city! Love its museums, restaurants, transport, everything in Basel is gorgeous! ❤😀
Thanks Alicia for your friendly comment 😃 I'm glad you like Basel. A warm welcome to this channel and all the best
@@MovingAbroad thank you! When the pandemic is over! I'll travel once again to Basel and visit my daughter that lives in that gorgeous city! I'm from Argentina! And miss both a lot!

Thanks Pierre! Warm welcome to this channel :)
Nice video! Please do one one Neuchatel Bienne and Yverdon
Nice video!
One of the most charming cities in the world ❤🇨🇭❤
Thank you for your comment!
Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite Swiss city?
Zurich, and you?
@@MovingAbroad I’m definitely biased towards Zürich, because I’ve visited it the most, four times (within a 2 year period 🤗😂). However, I absolutely fell in love with Basel around Christmas/winter holidays, it’s just so cute and tiny. Geneva was “too much”, and I mean that in the most positive way. As of now, I think Zürich is my favorite.
Nice Video
Congratulations 🙂👍
Thanks!
Nice channel thanks for information
Thanks!
Amazing video
Thank you very much Salwan! A warm welcome to this channel 🙂
i lived and worked in Riehen b/Basel for six months and always felt safe there.
Great! Please cover Lugano as well!
I'll upload a video about Lugano as soon as possible. I already have the script.
Thanks for your comment and a warm welcome to this channel!
Very nice! :)
Thank you very much 🙂
Really love Basel
@@hericodiallo194 thank you herico for your comment!👍🏻
A joke in Basel:A old man from Basel changed his Citizenship from Basel to Zürich.Asked why in his age he would do this, he said:If a guy has to kick the bucket, then it must be a guy from Zürich, not from Basel.
Sehr schön
Danke!
The carnival is called "fasnacht"
Yep - Thanks for your comment!
Fasnacht translates into "carnival" in English. You're welcome.
Basel is my favourite Swiss city .
You should have shown and mentioned the Munster House .
Live my whole life (20 years) in an outskirt just outside of the city and didn’t know averythig👌hurts that you didn’t mention the prestigious football club😅❤️💙
Right, I forgot that😆
The prestigious club is not longer that prestigious.... unfortunately.
Basel is also the city with one of the lowest altitudes in Switzerland, therefore giving it a 1-2C advantage over other regions in addition to the geographic advange „behind“ the Jura mountains
True! Thanks for your comment and a warm welcome to this channel :)
Hey, small correction, Migros is larger than coop by a bit, at least when looking only at the swiss market (i don't know how coop in italy or the uk relate to the swiss one.)
I am from and live in Basel :)
Schöns dägli! 😃
Good community
Sorry I haven't been to Basel when I was in
Switzerland in 1972 and 1979, when my
parents and I had vacationed there I hope
to visit Switzerland again one day, and my
Mother's side of the family was from Zurich.
Her nephew was a Dr. Med. from Zurich too,
and also lived in Bern, I saw the Bears 🐻
there, and had a chalet in Saanen above
Gstaad. A friend of my Mother and us was
from Zug. We used to go until 1992 to the
Swiss national day at the Swiss Home in
Mt Kisco, NY north of New York City, where
there was food and festivities in Summer.
They had Zuger Kircshtorte from Switzerland
and the Swiss ambassador would address us there. I believe that year was the 700th
anniversary of Swiss Confederation One
of my Doctors in the US graduated from
Medical School in Basel in 1960 too.
Aufwiederluge!
Please make video on Lausanne and Lucerne
Basel ist die schönste Stadt !!!

Jap definitiv! Herzlich willkommen auf dem Kanal :)
Gut für Single Frau? Also für alleinstehende? Ich überlege dort zu ziehen.... Aber die Mieten sind recht hoch... Gibt's in Basel sowas wie alternative Szene? 8ch meine keine meanstream Influenzer mit Hut
@@zoraka2951 Würde sagen, ja. Es gibt eine recht grosse alternative Szene, viele Künstler:innen und Lebenskünstler:innen.
Basel
I am from Basel originally. There are four ferries, by the way...😉
Oh okay😆 thanks for correcting
@@MovingAbroad kein Problem 😀
I would love to see the principle cities of:
Belgium
Netherlands
Canada
Australia
New Zealand
Andorra
Monaco
Much love
Thanks for your suggestions! I'll try to make a video about them😃
I from Basel
😃
Hey do u know kris8an ..... I got to know that he lives there...is he a celebrity
I do really surprised with the video about Basel and was impressive for sure. After pandemic things I should visit Basel. Angola 🇦🇴 on Map cheers .
sempre bem vindo mano Stelvio
1.60 CHF is pronounced one swiss franc sixty
03:52 *Pardonez moi* - and correct me if I'm wrong: Switzerland's biggest supermarket chain still remains *MIGROS* . [I worked there, at the age of 15]
no, it's coop but with a small margin. i was surprised myself
@@silasmaurer7835 Hmm..but then, wikipedia must be wrong too:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_supermarket_chains_in_Switzerland
Help me out..
@@GNU_Linux_for_good it depends in what you compare the two... but in sheer sales revenue its coop>migros
@@nicolassalathe6905 *Gee* ! I think you're right. But it seems almost a neglectable margin with regard to revenues: *coop* is 30.2 billion CHF and *Migros* is 29.9 billion CHF [source: wikipedia.de]. But - okay: you win.
Basel is not home to Federer. Yes, he was born there but he doesn't live there. Currently he lives on the shores of Lake Zurich.
Plus he grew up in Muttenz afaik.
I think the 800’000 People number is way to high. I think we should think of it more like 280-300k FYI
@BestCities - Frage - Ich würde dieses Video gerne an einer internationalen virtuellen Konferenz mit 5000 Teilnehmer (Academia) zeigen.
Nur zu😃
296k?
What's up? :)

Any one from Basel - Tamil community
Guys important question Coop or Migros
coop
@@bauz6894 Why chose if you can have both?
@@markusstudeli2997 I got both, but still im just buying Ice tea in Migros and all the other stuff in Coop🤷🏻♂️

The most remarkable building in Basel is BIS, The bank of Central Banks, a history shaper, The most powerful institution in The world
Not really. The building is not beautiful nor it is the most powerful instutituion in the world. It is important for the banks, nothing else.
Do not tell them about the earthquake, it's a bit of a deal-breaker
Lived in Basel for a couple of years and loved it for the first year---then the police started controlling me as I headed to university, to Weil am Rhein, to the park to exercise, essentially, whenever I was alone or with anybody Black, but never with white colleagues... I got sick and tired and turned bitter towards it. I moved to Bern and have been controlled only once here in 3 years. It sucks to get controlled at all, but I'll take once here, versus nearly 15 times in my second year in Basel. Pity, because I loved Basel at first.
Das ist Basel, Switzerland
Well, you get controlled in Basel because it is a border town. I am white and I get controlled all the time, even in Germany I got controlled last year when I was walking normally in the port area. A border town is full of border police, which is not the case with Bern. Stop being racist!
Nooo Migros was taken over!
Nopo 👉🇮🇱👮♂️🤡👹🤑🐃🤏🦴❗🌋
Agree on most what you say, but there are many downsides to Basel, especially due to too extreme socialist politics (high amount of drug and alcohol abuse, open drug trade, crime and violence at night, even in better areas, not just Kleinhüningen, Breite or the center).
And about bicycles, they are more than often reckless and are a joke around Swiss people who visit Basel, also this is due to politics.
chill mol
Most Swiss cities are actually governed by the left, and they still can be described as very clean, friendly, calm and safe by international standards. Making inner cities car free actually contributed a lot to their attractiveness. After all, bicycles, even if ridden recklessly, hardly kill as many pedestrians compared to cars. and they don't cause traffic jams.
"No other swiss city, localized at such a big river", Schaffhausen?
Is it really bigger?😅
Well it's the same River, but between Schaffhausen and Basel it gets bigger (other rivers end into the rhine). So in Schaffhausen it's a bit more than 100 meters wide, in Basel for comparison it's 200 meters wide.
Basel is the only Swiss maritime connection. From there you can get all to way to the see in Rotterdam.
Du hast aber vergessen zu sagen wieviel Ausländer oder "Papierlischweizer" von den 170000 Einwohnern in Basel sind. Zu meiner Zeit ging ich noch im Gundeli zur Schule, heute heisst es Gündülü ...
Gundülü habe ich noch nie gehört - aber ist lustig😃
Ja, es gibt viele Ausländer dort
@@MovingAbroad Gundeli heisst das quartier unterhalb vom Bruderholz. Also schreibe Gundeli so dass auch ein Türke es versteht und dann ergibt sich eben Gündülü, sorry also in meinem Bekanntenkreis den ich in der Schweiz hatte war Gündülü ein bekannter Begriff so wie Piazza Roma, der Claraplatz
Personally🤔I'm simply thinking 🙄This CORONA year really PROVED😭🤪 Shows how much we people are followers and kinda Sheep with no opinions ❤️whooops 🤪"Sorryyyy" LOVE YOU Guys All🌏😎🌳🤔🌱😭💚
"Ai laikch the pronounziation and the sweet swiss äkchzent" it's not getting more swiss than this.
Ja dä mit em Meditarine häsch de Bok abgschosse Basel isch die Cheltischt Stad i de Schweiz
The most liberal city part is a massive turn off.
Not really. All major Swiss cities are governed by the left, which doesn't make them less attractive, on the contrary. They tend to be clean, with lots of urban transit and car free, walkable city centers. In Basel, the left rule dates back probably a bit longer than in most other cities, apart from Biel.
Love my home city. Great video, however I would have avoided the political part - as it is purely subjective and you assume that the SP inherently better then the SVP. It's debatable and would suit a different video better.
Thank you for your feedback. It is quite funny that you say this, since I am not a fan of the SP at all! A warm welcome to this channel :)
I understand your point but it's a fact that in most votings Basel is one of few if not the only big city in Switzerland voting for the more liberal thing than all the other cities. If you look at votingmaps you always see Basel voting different than the other big cities. He could have used other words to say it but I think it is an important fact to know if you wanna visit Basel. You can't visit some parts of Basel if you're extremly konservative. I mean very extreme like neonazis.
@@mauriceweber9840 And That's A Good Thing; Nazis Raus!!!
No, it is not subjective. Why would the swiss nazi party, aka SVP, be considered better in any way?
one of the ugliest cities I've ever visited. Way too little green spaces, too much utilitarianism architecture (asphalt and concrete everywhere), and unapproachable people.
Great city if you work there though.
Nearby Alsace, Baden-Württemberg and Swiss Alps are better tourism destinations.
Thanks for your comments! I agree up to a certain point. People are not too nice there...
Welcome to the channel :)
What a heap of ill-educated and nonsensical propaganda. Stay wherever you are. You're welcome.
@@celloswiss "ill-informed propaganda" i've been to basel for tourism 4 times just this year. While clean, it's not as touristic as Colmar, Freiburg, Strasbourg or even Mulhouse. Very few green spaces/water canals in the city center, boring old city (due to protestantism forcing bland architecture in the 18th century), new city is literally all asphalt, rhein walk is a tiny dirt path with no forest/flowers/etc... It's very functional but not very beautiful to look at.
"Green spaces"?!? ....It doesn't need green spaces because, in very short order, you can be out in Baselland (a short drive or train ride) -- which is practically a giant green space. The asphalt is designed so that you can avoid walking and driving through the mud!! ....Next, you'll be complaining that it has modern sewerage! ...."too much utilitarian architecture"? This isn't Disneyland, you know!
@@MrJm323 interesting logic you have. Asphalt is a bland monochromatic layer with no motives or style, that greatly increases city temperature during heat waves and smells bad when it's hot.
Enough asphalt for sidewalks and roads is good, but having literally zero trees or grass is sad.
Baselland is a park, if you want to see it you need to stop what you're doing and go there. Green spaces must be distributed around the city and integrated into the infrastructure.
I mean you don't even need to look far for good urbanism. Freiburg is just a few dozen km away.
"This isn't disneyland" why do you pay taxes to the city council if you don't want them to make the city liveable?
