Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland and is located in the north of the country where the borders of Switzerland, France and Germany meet. The city has a vibrant cultural scene with over 40 museums in a very small area and is one of the top ten cities in the world with the highest quality of life.

The city of Basel consists of two districts, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel, which are separated by the river Rhine. In winter, Basel is festively decorated and has a very special charm. One of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe takes place on Münsterplatz and Barfüsserplatz.
