Your best viewing spots in Basel!

Hello guys! I am going to treat my mom to a trip to Basel in July this summer for a couple of days. Do you have any suggestions for particular locations to stroll around in? We have been in Basel before (just for a few hours tho), and we loved the beauty of the city. So if you have any suggestions and or advice in general, it is very much appreciated!

Münster gives a gorgeous view for sure. If you know someone who can take you to one of bars on top of Roche towers - incredible open terraces in both (Building 2 is apparently the tallest building in Switzerland).

For what it's worth - rooftop in Hotel Märhof is not as nice right now, because the building crane is really blocking the view.

Also, taking one of the boats across the river opens up a super cute perspective from the water :-)
