On the one hand, it has a rich cultural offering that includes world-famous museums, first-class modern architecture and exciting events.

On the other hand, Basel is also the most important city in Switzerland for trade fairs and conferences. And this is no coincidence, as the central location, modern infrastructure and short distances to the city centre impress both visitors and organizers.
