A holiday to Basel is a great choice for those who want a bit of everything. Sitting on the River Rhine, between Germany, France and Switzerland, you can choose which country to enter as soon as you land at Basel airport. The city itself is famed for its art and culture, with the red-brick town hall being a particularly arresting sight. Basel plays host to the world-renowned Art Basel event, as well as a number of other art festivals and events throughout the year. It also has an impressive 40 museums, and Switzerland's most popular zoo. But it's not all about culture - take a river cruise along the Rhine, explore the quaint Swiss countryside, or indulge in some of the delicious local cheese and chocolate. Basel is a city break with something for everyone.Basel Blog posts

This element of unpredictability definitely turned the simplest trips into an adventure. As we quickly transitioned from the pandemic back to the almost normal...
