Information
Copied from Basel.ch.

Basel is the centre of north-western Switzerland, on the border with Germany and France, and located at the very core of central Europe. Identification with their city is exceptionally high not only among the city's population, but also among those who live in the city's suburbs and beyond.

Cultural, educational, and economic metropolis Basel projects, well beyond central Europe, the image of a progressive, environmentally conscious, international, and integrative cultural, educational, and economic metropolis. It successfully combines such small-town features as clarity and intimacy with the advantages of a city: expansiveness, wide choice, and diversity.

Despite its social dynamism and innovative economic strength, Basel is a lively border town, with a strong traditional base rooted in history which can be experienced not only at its carnival, the Basler Fasnacht. Both its historic townscape and modern architecture are part of Basel's living present.
