The location of the city is unique, as it shares borders with both Germany and France, even shares its airport and railway network with these neighboring countries. Basel is a city full of surprises, with a 2000-year history, located on the Rhine River.

Basel is the least cherished city of Switzerland but a wonderful city, which is quieter than Zurich, farther from the Alps then Bern is and less international than Geneva city. On a city, tour tourists can discover the city's many attractions and places of interest. One can take a walk of the Old Town with its quaint streets and historic buildings, then give a visit to the Cathedral and several other historical churches. 

Basel's seat of the government the Town Hall, the old city gates - Spalentor, St. Johanns-Tor and St.-Alban-Tor, the Jewish Basel and the Zoological Garden are all worth visiting sites.
