Basel

Among the cities of Basel-City, Basel stands out for its position on the Rhine near the meeting point of Switzerland, France and Germany. The river separates the historic centre from Kleinbasel and remains part of everyday city life, including ferries propelled by the current. Basel Minster, built in red sandstone and marked by twin towers, rises above the old town, while its terrace faces the Rhine. Founded in 1460, the University of Basel is Switzerland’s oldest university. The city is also internationally associated with Art Basel, the contemporary-art fair first held here in 1970.
