For his photographic forays in and around Basel, Lukas Landmann plays the part of a tourist and discovers much he would normally pass by. In so doing he reveals through his photography surprising and enchanting facets of this city on the banks of the Rhine. Introduced by a short historical and geographical overview, the chapters of this large-format book trace Basel's growth and development over its 2000-year history, from the early settlement to today's thriving business and university city.

The many full-page photographs include famous, and some not-so-famous, Basel landmarks, and all are annotated in both German and English.
