About Basel

Blessed with many influences

Basel sits conveniently in the heart of Western Europe, just inside Switzerland on the border of France and Germany. Basel therefore is blessed with many influences, and boasts a rich culture and plenty of contrast. The city is a central hub of commerce and transport, although thanks to the Rhine splitting the centre in two, there are quaint ferryboats that carry passengers across town.
