Name participant
BaselThere is a lot to discover in Basel: For example, you can choose from al-
most 40 museums. Lovers of the opera, ballet and the theatre will also be
happy with the choice of performances to be found. There are many parks
and recreation areas, a wide range of restaurants and bars and unlimited
shopping – all this in three countries at the same time. So, you see, there
are so many options! And Basel may love its traditions, but it is also cu-
rious, adventurous and happy to try new things. For example in architec-
ture, as the many modern buildings by renowned international architects
prove. They create an interesting contrast to the medieval buildings in the
historic old town centre with its many romantic courtyards and winding al-
leys. People in Basel know how to enjoy life, as can be seen every summer
on the banks of the river Rhine, bustling with life. If you long for a more
quiet spot, jump on a ferry, a river boat or a tram that will take you out to
nature in no time at all.
