Overview

Where the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland meet is Basel. I invite you to discover this city where cultures meet and coexist! Your guide through the heart of Basel comes with extensive experience and hundreds of five star ratings. You will discover a city containing a mix of medieval buildings and modern Swiss architecture. You'll hear about the city's legends, its history, and the people who shaped it.

Along the way, you will see contemporary Basel and learn about the local festivals. You'll also find out about the city's reputation for art and humanism, starting with the publishing industry in the 1400s, and proudly continuing today with the international Art Basel fair.
