Basel is located in the heart of Europe, exactly in the three-countries corner of Germany, France and Switzerland. The romantic Old Town, one of the best-preserved and most attractive in Europe, is as fascinating as the many modern buildings by architects of international renown that complete the picture of a tolerant and liberal-minded city. Basel's greatest passion is reflected in the motto "Basel - Culture Unlimited": Art enjoys an extremely high priority in Basel. The cultural metropolis on the bend of the Rhine has an unrivalled density of museums, including many with a worldwide reputation for excellence. In an area of 37 square metres, more than 30 museums invite you to visit them. The culture of savoir-vivre is also cultivated in Basel, with a diverse culinary offering and a varied night life. Basel is a city for people who enjoy life. Let us welcome you in Basel and enjoy it with us!
