Tucked behind the majestic Basel Minster, this elevated platform offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Rhine River, the charming rooftops of Kleinbasel, and on clear days, even stretches to the Black Forest in Germany and the Vosges in France. It’s the perfect spot to pause and soak in the city’s beauty—whether you're watching ferries glide across the river, admiring the sunset, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment under the shade of old trees. The terrace is open 24/7 and free to access, making it an ideal stop any time of day.

The Basel viewing platform also known as Basler Pfalz, nestled atop the city's iconic Pfalz hill, offers a breathtaking panorama of the city and Rhine river. The sweeping views cover Basel's charming old town, the Rhine River and occassional swimmers and boats, and the distant Swiss and French Alps. It's an ideal spot for photographers, romantics, and anyone seeking a moment of rest. It's easily accessible through the Basel Minster church as it's located behind it and connets to all parts of the town.

Palatinate Viewing Platform offers a magnificent experience to those who love the beauty of nature and architecture. Located on a hill, the platform offers outstanding views of the picturesque Rhine region. The architecture of the platform harmonizes with the environment, allowing a perfect immersion in nature. With its commanding view of green hills, quaint towns and surrounding vineyards, it is an ideal place to observe the views at different times of the day.

Behind the Cathedral (Münster), there is a terrace offering wonderful views over the Rhine. Its name is the Pfalz and is one of the most popular viewpoints in the city. (If you are watching the river), on the left side there are steps that lead down to the landing jetty of the Münster ferry. On the other side (right) there is a small gateway leading to the quiet cloisters of the Cathedral.

You can visit a cute garden next to the cathedral which is really cute with some roses and beautiful windows and facades. The place is nice too with a great view of Basel but the best one I think. You can go downstairs and walk right by the water too (I recommend it).

You have to go to this place if you're in Basel. You'll see a nice square with a big church nearby also. The view of the river is beautiful, you can see boats strolling around or you can watch how the city looks past the river. It's a great viewing platform.
