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.

.Paczków is a charming town in the Opole Voivodeship, often referred to as "Poland's Carcassonne" due to its well-preserved 14th century fortification walls. It is one of the few towns in Poland where the medieval fortifications have been preserved almost in their entirety.
The main attraction is the Market Square with the Town Hall, which impresses with its beautiful architecture and atmospheric surroundings. Also worth a visit is the Museum of Gas Industry, where you can see unique exhibits related to the history of gas industry in Poland. Also notable among the monuments is the Church of St. John the Evangelist, which formerly served as a defense.
Paczków is located on Lake Otmuchowskie and close to Lake Nysa, which offer great conditions for water recreation, sailing and fishing. The Nysa Klodzka River also flows through the town, adding to the beauty of the landscape.
Paczkow hosts a variety of cultural events, including Paczkow Days, during which one can listen to concerts, see knight shows and take part in local festivals. It is an ideal place for lovers of history, nature and peaceful recreation.
