Travelling to Basel

Travel to Basel

With no less than 40 museums, cosmopolitan Basel is without doubt one of Switzerland's most cultural cities. A true platform of nations, it is known as Dreiländereck, (the Triangle) for its strategic position on crossroads of the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland. This blending of cultures and languages makes for a uniquely flavoured cocktail.

The red sandstone walls and roof tiles of the Cathedral of Basel, or Münster dominate the Münsterplatz square which is the buzzing focal point of the city.
