Basel is Switzerland's third-largest city and the only one with a port - a river port, of course. It is located on the Swiss border with Germany and France on the Rhine River. The city abounds with numerous historical monuments, and is also famous for its great cuisine and dozens of museums and art galleries.
.First of all, visit the local old town with its Gothic cathedral, dark red town hall, Spalen gate (one of three still standing today) and the famous white and blue houses. Around the square are picturesque narrow streets with many historic houses. The observation deck behind the cathedral offers a view of the Rhine River and the other side of the city.
From Basel's museums, it's worth visiting the Tinguely Museum - a prominent Swiss sculptor and painter working in the 1950s and 1960s, famous especially for constructing moving installations and machines, or the Natural History Museum with a huge collection of fossils, remains of prehistoric animals, where you can also learn about the history of the creation of the Alps and the entire region. Also noteworthy is the Museum of Art - one of the most important cultural institutions in the country, full of famous works of art from the 15th century to the present day.
By its location at the meeting point of three borders, Basel is a bit different from the rest of Swiss cities. It combines different cultures, languages and flavors. What is the best gourmet city in Switzerland? We answer - Basel. Restaurants in the city are highly rated. Among others, it is worth going to Le Rhin Bleu, a restaurant suspended on a special platform over the Rhine. Near the train station, there is also a market hall (Markthalle) with more than a dozen restaurants that are inexpensive for Switzerland and serve tasty cuisine from around the world.
