About Basel

City image

Basel lies beside the Rhine, right at the point where Switzerland, France and Germany meet. This initially made Basel an important commercial city, and even today there is still a lot of activity. You may be less likely to find the peaceful atmosphere as in other Swiss cities, but this is no reason to overlook Basel. Walk into the centre via the gothic city gate Spalentor, walk on to Marktplatz, the city's central square, and visit the prestigious art museum. From € 40 you can travel to Basel in 6.53 hours.
