Switzerland is a country renowned for its artistic and cultural heritage. Visitors to the city of Basel are no stranger to that fact. Those in Basel who are looking for something to do with their time and enjoy this aspect of Switzerland will enjoy visiting the Kulturwerkstatt Kaserne. This is one of the most famous theatres and opera houses in all of Switzerland, and should be on every Swiss tourist’s itinerary.
The Kulturwerkstatt Kaserne is frequently home to the most lavish productions in the country, in a variety of media including both traditional theatre and musical performances. Everything from grand operas to small scale but intimate plays written by Basel’s locals can be seen, and they’re all extraordinary. The theatre itself is a wonderful sight to see, as it overlooks the beautiful Rhine River, and houses its own restaurant and bar. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favour and check out the Kulturwerkstatt Kaserne.
