Basel – The city where three countries meet

Basel is one of Switzerland’s most distinctive cities, strategically located at the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany, and France. Stretching along the Rhine River, the city combines a rich history with a strong cultural identity, making it one of Europe’s most important destinations.
In the Old Town, cobblestone streets, medieval houses, and the Basel Minster create an unforgettable historic atmosphere. At the same time, Basel is renowned for its more than 40 museums, including the Fondation Beyeler, the Kunstmuseum Basel, and the Vitra Design Museum, cementing its reputation as Switzerland’s cultural capital.
The city is also home to Art Basel, one of the world’s most prestigious contemporary art fairs, which every year transforms Basel into a hub for artists, collectors, and visitors from around the globe. Modern architecture also plays a central role, with iconic works by Herzog & de Meuron and other internationally acclaimed architects.
Beyond art, Basel offers a high quality of life – riverside cafés along the Rhine, numerous festivals, and an international atmosphere that reflects its unique location. It is the perfect destination for those seeking history, art, and Swiss lifestyle all in one place.
