The Mittlere Brücke is one of the oldest river crossings in Basel and spans the Rhine at a central point in the city. The bridge has medieval origins and has long played an important role in trade travel and daily life. Today it is a symbol of Basel and connects the historic old town with the lively Kleinbasel district. Walking across the bridge offers views of the cathedral the riverbanks and the traditional ferries that cross the Rhine using only the current. The Mittlere Brücke combines history architecture and urban life and remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in Basel.
