Basel is Switzerland's third-largest city, situated at the point where the Swiss, French, and German borders meet. Located on both banks of the Rhine River, the city has a rich history dating back to the Roman era.

Basel is widely recognized as Switzerland's cultural capital, hosting numerous museums, galleries, and cultural institutions. The city is home to Switzerland's oldest university, founded in 1460, and has historically been an important center for humanism, science, and the printing industry.

Basel's cultural landscape is marked by its significant art collections, including the Kunstmuseum Basel, which houses one of Europe's most extensive and important public art collections. The city maintains a vibrant contemporary arts scene, exemplified by its annual Art Basel fair, one of the world's premier modern and contemporary art shows.
