A secret code from a Basel banking scandal still swirls in whispers around cobblestoned Am Ring while the ancient foundations of the Biozentrum hum with scientific breakthroughs that changed Europe. Hidden currents beneath these grand facades lead straight to untold stories and lost legends.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks the vibrant heart of Basel. Drift from the enigmatic halls of WIR Bank to the intellectual corridors of the university and the quietly defiant Jewish Community, stepping into fleeting moments of rebellion, revolution and revelation that most visitors never notice.

Why did a midnight document go missing at WIR Bank, setting off a citywide panic? What secret meetings shaped world history in the old corridors of the Biozentrum? Which odd tradition at the Jewish Community still puzzles historians?

Stride through Basel’s shadows and sunlight where ideas ignite, mysteries unfurl and the past comes sharply alive. Begin the journey and unearth secrets where the ordinary hides the unforgettable.
