Located on the banks of the Rhine River, Basel is the third-largest town in Switzerland. It's widely recognized as the country's cultural capital, and it's home to around 40 museums, including the Museum of Cultures and the Basel Art Museum. The town is also rich in high-quality architecture, particularly in the medieval Marktplatz, where there's a unique red sandstone Town Hall. From here, you can walk through the cobblestone alleys to the picturesque Basel Minster cathedral, where you can climb up to the Pfalz for some wonderful views of the river and the city below. Basel
