Here in the „Dreiländereck“, the tri-national region at the great sweep of the Rhine, northwestern Switzerland with its metropolis of Basel, borders directly on Germany and France. The oldest university town in Switzerland is full of exciting contrasts: medieval alleyways, Gothic areas of the city and romantic Rhine ferries on the one hand – modern museums and theater buildings, exhibition halls and the production plants of the world‘s leading chemical corporations on the other hand. Throbbing city life and world-renowned art collections contrast with the unique and ancient local carnival traditions. That‘s life at the heart of Europe.
