SBB Switchtower

Basel is known for being one of the cities most committed to Swiss culture. In terms of modern architecture, its streets and houses have works by some of the most popular architects of recent times, such as Herzog & de Meuron, Richard Meier, Mario Botta and Renzo Piano. Very close to the station are two of the most popular buildings and they're stunning, especially the Herzog & de Meuron (copper colored) which changes with the light, the position and where you look.
