Top 10 reasons for Basel
Basel is a city that is equally popular with holidaymakers and business travellers.
On the one hand, it has a rich cultural offering that includes world-famous museums, first-class modern architecture and exciting events.
Its beautiful Old Town, the Rhine as an area for rest and relaxation, the proximity to Germany and France and a lively culinary scene make it an attractive destination as a city break.
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.
