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.

.Radzivillov (ukr. Радивилів) is a small town located in the Rivne region of Ukraine, not far from the Polish border. Although it is a quiet town, it has several places worth visiting.
One of Radziwillow's main sights is the St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, built in the 19th century and an example of the region's sacred architecture. Walking around the city, one can also come across historical buildings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which reflect the old character of the town.
In the vicinity of Radziwillow there are picturesque green areas, ideal for walks and relaxation in nature. Nature lovers can visit the nearby forests and meadows, which encourage hiking and observation of local flora and fauna.
Although there are no major museums in Radziwill itself, it is worth noting the local cultural initiatives and festivals that take place throughout the year, presenting the traditions and culture of the region.
For those interested in the history of the Radziwill family, it is worth mentioning that about 100 kilometers northeast of Radziwill is the town of Oleka, where the impressive Radziwill Castle rises. This castle was built in 1540-1564 by Prince Nikolai Radzivill, known as the Black One, and is an important point on the map of Ukraine's historical attractions.
To sum up, Radzivill is a charming town with several interesting places to visit, especially for those who appreciate quiet historical towns away from the tourist hustle and bustle.
