City in 🇨🇭 Switzerland with a population of around 170 thousand people.
Basel is one of Switzerland’s underrated cultural treasures. While Zurich and Geneva get all the attention, Basel’s well-preserved medieval city center, home to a world-renowned art museum and a lively nightlife, is well worth a visit. The city is also a convenient base for exploring the surrounding area, from the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps to the vineyards of the Alsace region in France.
