🇨🇭 Review of Basel, an art city on the Rhine River

Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland. It is located on the Rhine River, bordering France and Germany, making it a city with a distinct cultural identity. It is easy to travel and is perfect for those who love art, architecture and a peaceful European atmosphere. 🌉 Overall atmosphere The city is quiet, clean and orderly in a Swiss style, but it is also lively with people from many nationalities. There are both old traditional European buildings and modern buildings with cutting-edge designs. Walking along the Rhine River in the evening is a great feeling. 🍃 🖼️ City of art Basel has more than 40 museums! Don't miss: • Kunstmuseum Basel (Switzerland's oldest art museum) • Fondation Beyeler (Collecting works by Picasso, Monet, etc.) • If you come in June, there is also Art Basel, an international contemporary art festival that is famous all over the world. ⛪ Old Town & Basel Minster The old town is very charming. Medieval houses, cobblestone streets, cute little shops and the Basel Minster, a nearly thousand-year-old church on a hill. The view from the top looking down on the Rhine River is beautiful! 🚋 Transportation Trams cover the entire city, very convenient and very fast. If you stay at a hotel in Basel, you will usually get a BaselCard, which gives you free public transport and discounts on museum tickets. 🍽️ Food & Drink Basel has authentic Swiss food like rösti, fondue, as well as international restaurants and cafes in the old town to chill out. A local pastry that you should try is Basler Läckerli (a biscuit-like pastry mixed with spices and honey). 📍 Small tips from real travel: • You can walk across the Rhine River on a traditional wooden raft, it's fun and the view is great. • If you have time, I recommend taking a boat ride along the river or chilling on the bank. • Basel is a safe city, you can walk around at night comfortably. #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #Switzerland #Travel
