Basel Mini Guide
Historic Basel is affectionately known as the culture capital of Switzerland. With a milder climate than the Swiss average it also experiences finer weather. Basel is a little-known destination, but it has so many opportunities for adventure and exploration.
Basel is situated in the northwest corner of
Switzerland, with
France to the west and
Germany to the north. The river Rhine divides the city. The nearest airport is EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, situated 3km northwest of Basel where a pre-booked rental car can also be collected from.
