A Basilea se le conoce tambien como el Dreiländereck, o la esquina de los tres paises. Esto porque la ciudad se encuentra en la pura frontera entre Alemania, Francia y Suiza. A orillas del rio Rin, Basilea no es turisticamente muy famosa, sin embargo es una ciudad bastante importante. Aqui se encuentra el Banco de Pagos Internacionales, conocido tambien como el "banco central de los bancos centrales" del mundo. Basilea es sede de importantes empresas tales como Novartis.
En esta ocasiones, nos fuimos la tarde de hoy domingo a Basilea, ciudad por la que he pasado dos veces pero nunca he tenido la oportunidad de ver en detalle. El clima pudo haber estado mejor, con una ligera lluvia y totalmente nublado. Les adjunto unas fotos que tome, espero las disfruten! Hagan click en las imagenes para abrirlas en mi sitio de Flickr, donde podran abrir la imagen en grande.

Basel is also known as the Dreiländereck, or the three-countries corner. This is because the city is very close to the border between France, Germany and Switzerland. Located at the Rhine river, Basel is maybe touristically not so famous, but is indeed a very important city in Switzerland. Here are the headquarters of the Bank of International Settlements, known also as the "central bank of the central banks" of the world. Important companies, such as Novartis, are also lodged here.
This time, we went for the afternoon to Basel. Weather could have been better: there was a light rain and it was completely overcast. Still, I managed to take some pictures. Click on the images to view them on my Flickr site, where you can see a larger version. Hope you enjoy them.
