Basel Travel Guide

Introduction to Basel

The quiet, shy and reserved Swiss city of Basel is not a top tourist city, but it should be. The most revered cultural hotspot in Switzerland, Basel is the gateway to some of the finest art collections and cultural architectural icons in the country. The historic and magical centre of the stunning Old Medieval Town is in a class of its own – bringing visitors who are in the know, from all over the world to experience it.

Some of the world’s premier architects have built some of their most famous and distinctive works of construction genius here and legendary art museums have homes built by big names like Mario Botta, Herzog and De Meuron and Renzo Piano. Contemporary and modern architecture can be found nestled between historic gems that line cobbled walkways and whom are perched majestically peering over the breeze-ruffled Rhine River.
