Basel Regions

Basel

Located on both sides of the Rhine, in the three-country-corner of Switzerland, Germany and France , Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland. Not only with diverse cultures, but also a multifaceted history, modern art and architecture converge here.

On walking tours, the visitors can discover the Old Town, which is dotted with buildings dating from the 15th century. The large market square is dominated by a townhall built between 1507 and 1513. The Spalentor, one of Switzerland's most beautiful city gates, was erected in the late 14th century. Basel's true landmark, however, is the Minster with its slender spires. It was built in different architectural styles between 1019 and 1500.

Rheinfelden

Just by Basel, at the start of the navigable Rhine, lies the charming little "Zähringer" town of Rheinfelden. The historic town centre with its typical wide market street and delightful side lanes is an inviting area in which to wander, explore and do some shopping. In 1846, when the salt baths opened in Rheinfelden, the little town enjoyed international fame. Today Rheinfelden, with its health centre, the "sole uno" World of Well-being and the Park-Hotel am Rhein, is a well-known centre for Health & Well-being.
