When you first hear the town name "Basel", it might make you hungry for a fresh mozzarella salad (just drizzle some balsamic over the top and we're good to go!), but put away your fork and get out your map—we're talking about Basel, Switzerland. Located where the Swiss, French and German borders meet, Basel has more museums than any other Swiss city, and that’s not all. Basel holidays will introduce you to the cultural heartbeat of this refined city on the Rhine.
The Kunstmuseum is home to the largest art collection in Switzerland; it houses an extensive stock of Renaissance art, plus major Impressionist works from Monet and Gauguin. The museum also contains 20th century pieces from Van Gogh and Munch, so get Van-Gogh-ing and check it out! After spending some "Monet" on art museum souvenirs, take a boat tour on the Rhine River for a new perspective of the city. If it's architecture you're after, the Basel Minster church in the city centre highlights Romanesque and Gothic styles. Many hotels in Basel can hear the bells ringing from its historic tower. Not enough church for you? Check out our Milan accommodation and make the 340 km trip south to see the Duomo di Milano. That should hold you over for a while.
By air, you’ll land at the EuroAirport Basel (BSL), which is just over the border in France but only 6 km from Basel accommodation in the city’s centre. Getting around Basel is simple thanks to the colour-coded tram system and ferries that shuttle you along the river. In Old Town, it’s even easier: Just use your own two feet in this pedestrian zone.
If you’re looking for a European holiday that combines the cosmopolitan vibe of Vienna, the major art of Italy and the history of, well, Switzerland, look no further. Book Basel hotels on Wotif today!
