Basel

Switzerland is known for its mountains (Alps in the south, Jura in the northwest) but it also has a central plateau of rolling hills, plains, and large lakes. Switzerland is renowned over the world for downhill skiing, and the country is also great for many other outdoor activities, including hiking and mountain biking. Mountain climbing, from easy to very hard, can also be found in Switzerland, and there is hardly another place with a longer tradition for this. Some routes, like the North face of the Eiger, have become near-mythical due to the hardships, sacrifice and even deaths suffered by the first people to climb them. And because of the breathtaking views, travelling from one place to another by car, bus, train or bike along alpine roads and railroads is often an experience in itself.

Switzerland

It’s one of the smallest cantons in Switzerland. Basel is the main city and it’s the third most populous city in the country. The city is mostly known for its international renowned museums such as Kunstmuseum, Antikenmuseum Basel und Sammlung Ludwig, Augusta Raurica Roman open-air museum and Historical Museum Basel. There are many landmarks to visit in the city such as the old town, Notre-Dame, Rathaus and the zoo. Besides the main city, the canton is home to many heavy forests.
