Basel holidays

About Basel

A trip to Basel is the perfect choice for those looking for a little bit of everything on their holidays. Situated on the River Rhine, between Germany, Switzerland and France, it's the ideal spot for exploring the area's diverse culture and attractions. From the traditional Swiss architecture of the town hall, to the edgier contemporary buildings, Basel is a cultural hub with an array of annual art events and festivals, such as Art Basel. The city also boasts Switzerland's highest concentration of museums, as well as Basel Zoo, one of the country's most popular. But it's not all about culture - there are river cruises along the Rhine, quaint Swiss countryside just outside the city centre, and plenty of delicious cheese and chocolate to be sampled. Basel is the perfect destination for a Swiss city break.
