Basel is one of the important cities of Switzerland. One of Switzerland's underrated tourist destinations, Basel has a beautiful medieval old town centre, a vibrant Carnival, and several world class art museums built by architects like Renzo Piano, Mario Botta and Herzog & De Meuron. Basel is also rich in architecture old and new, with a Romanesque Münster (cathedral), a Renaissance Rathaus (town hall), and various examples of high quality contemporary architecture, including more buildings by Herzog & De Meuron, Richard Meier, Diener & Diener, and various others.
Located in the Dreiländereck (three countries' corner), Basel is a gateway to the Swiss Jura mountains and nearby cities of Zürich and Lucerne, as well as the neighbouring French region of Alsace and the German Black Forest. If interested in a trip to the country side visit Sissach a nice little town about 20 minutes from Basel. There are a number of things to see and do if you have a few days to spend.
This is the standard mode of travel for many within the city. Old Basel isn't very large and there are many narrow and winding side streets with incredible slopes. Basel has an extensive tram (light rail) and bus network.
The city itself has 19 quarters:
Grossbasel (Greater Basel):
1 Altstadt Grossbasel
2 Vorstädte
3 Am Ring
4 Breite
5 St. Alban
6 Gundeldingen
7 Bruderholz
8 Bachletten
9 Gotthelf
10 Iselin
11 St. Johann
Kleinbasel (Lesser Basel):
12 Altstadt Kleinbasel
13 Clara
14 Wettstein
15 Hirzbrunnen
16 Rosental
17 Matthäus
18 Klybeck
19 Kleinhüningen
Most of the old town attractions in Basel are in a walkable area between the Basel Zoo (just south of the Basel SBB train station) and the Rhine. Since most stores are closed on Sundays, it is a good day to plan to see one of the many museums, which are usually open. Basel and surroundings have over 20 museums, and many of these have a free opening hour at the end of the day.
Münster and Pfalz. Walk up cobbled streets and alleys from Marktplatz or Mittlere Brücke to Münsterplatz (Cathedral square) to see Basel's Münster (cathedral). Elisabethen, Elisabethenstrasse. St. Elizabeth is relatively underrated in Basel guides and maps given its historical significance. Marktplatz, Market square. Fresh fruits and vegetables, breads and pastries, flowers are available each working day. Considerably more vendors on Saturday morning.
The Gates to the Walled City. A (third) ring of fortifications around the whole old city was constructed after the great earthquake of 1356, to provide security for the then roughly 20,000 inhabitants of Basel. A number of these gates can still be seen at the perimeter of what used to be the medieval city: Spalentor
Basel prides itself on having more than two dozen museums, covering a wide range of subjects, from art - emphasized below - and architecture to cartoons and even doll houses. Among others, there is the Anatomical Museum of the University Basel, Berri-Villen and Museum of Ancient Art Basel and Ludwig Collection, Former Franciscan Barefoot Order Church and Basel Historical Museum, Company Archive of Novartis, Haus zum Kirschgarten which is part of the Basel Historical Museum, Historic Archive Roche and Industrial Complex Hoffmann-La Roche, Jewish Museum of Switzerland, Caricature & Cartoon Museum Basel, Karl Barth-Archive, Kleines Klingental (Lower Klingen Valley) with Museum Klingental, Art Museum of Basel, hosting the world's oldest art collection accessible to the public, Natural History Museum of Basel and the Museum of Cultures Basel, Museum of Modern Art Basel with the E.

Städterreise nach Basel - Dorint Hotel an der Messe
Nichts gibt einer Stadt mehr Flair, als ein mächtiger Fluss in ihrer Mitte. Basels Muse und Mittelpunkt ist der Rhein. Ruhig, kraft- und würdevoll fließt er durch die Messemetropole, zeigt sich mal im tiefen Flaschengrün, mal von dunkelbrauner Palisanderfärbung. Immer zu seinen Seiten: die verzaubernde Kulisse prächtiger Wohnsitze, historischer Fassaden und enger Gässchen. Richtig romantische Tupfer auf dem Wasser sind dabei die kleinen, zierlichen Flutenkreuzer - die Basler Fähris
Vier Stück der nostalgischen Strömungsfähren gibt es in Basel: die St. Alban-Fähre Wild Maa, die Münster-Fähre Leu, die Klingental-Fähre Vogel Gryff und die St. Johann-Fähre Ueli. Schubkraft gibt allein der Rhein. Die Überfahrt dauert nur wenige Minuten, ist aber so romantisch, dass man die Zeit dabei gern vergisst. Und weil Sie solch eine poetische Mini-Reise nicht verpasssen sollten, haben wir ein Ticket für die Leu schon ins Paket gelegt. Lassen Sie entspannt sich von Fährimaa Jacques Thurneysen zum Münster übersetzen.
Auf dem Münsterhügel mit seiner prachtvollen Kathedrale aus rotem Sandstein begann übrigens die Geschichte der städtischen Besiedlung. Erst die Kelten, dann die Römer, heute ist Basel eine wunderschöne und lebendige Kulturstadt. Museenfans erwarten tolle Kaliber: Kunstmuseum, Tinguely-Museum, Schweizerisches Architekturmuseum, die sensationelle Fondation Beyeler in Riehen und und und. Da werden Sie mit Sicherheit genug auf den Beinen unterwegs sein. Zwischendurch nutzen Sie einfach Bus und Tram - kostenlos. Denn mit der praktischen Mobility Card fahren Sie während Ihres Besuchs gratis durch die Innenstadt-Zonen 10, 11 und 13.
Ein guter Preis und beste Gastlichkeit erwartet Sie in jeden Fall in Ihrem Spar mit!-Partnerhotel, dem Dorint Hotel An der Messe Basel. Es liegt zentral mitten in Kleinbasel (rechtsrheinisch), die historische Altstadt, das Münster und das bekannte rote Rathaus erreichen Sie bequem mit der Tram in 8 Minuten - oder gemütlich zu Fuß in etwa 15 Minuten. Und wer die Schweiz verlässt, ohne das berühmte Nationalgericht verkostet zu haben, oh, der wird nicht wieder reingelassen. Deshalb gehört ein feines Käsefondue natürlich auch in unser pralles Basel-Entdecker-Paket. En Guete!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Basel (; also Basle ; German pronunciation: [ˈbaːzl̩]; French: Bâle [bɑːl]; Italian: Basilea [baziˈlɛːa]) is a city in northwestern Switzerland on the river Rhine. Basel is Switzerland's third-most-populous city (after Zürich and Geneva) with about 180,000 inhabitants.Located where the Swiss, French and German borders meet, Basel also has suburbs in France and Germany. As of 2016, the Swiss Basel agglomeration was the third-largest in Switzerland, with a population of 541,000 in 74 municipalities in Switzerland (municipal count as of 2018). The initiative Trinational Eurodistrict Basel (TEB) of 62 suburban communes including municipalities in neighboring countries, counted 829,000 inhabitants in 2007.The official language of Basel is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but the main spoken language is the local Basel German dialect.
The city is known for its many internationally renowned museums, ranging from the Kunstmuseum, the first collection of art accessible to the public in Europe (1661) and the largest museum of art in the whole of Switzerland, to the Fondation Beyeler (located in Riehen). The University of Basel, Switzerland's oldest university (founded in 1460), and the city's centuries-long commitment to humanism, have made Basel a safe haven at times of political unrest in other parts of Europe for such notable people as Erasmus of Rotterdam, the Holbein family, Friedrich Nietzsche and in the 20th century also Hermann Hesse and Karl Jaspers.
The city of Basel is Switzerland's second-largest economic centre after the city of Zürich and has the highest GDP per capita in the country, ahead of the cantons of Zug and Geneva. In terms of value, over 94% of Basel City's goods exports are in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. With production facilities located in the neighboring Schweizerhalle, Basel accounts for 20% of Swiss exports and generates one third of the national product.Basel has been the seat of a Prince-Bishopric since the 11th century, and joined the Swiss Confederacy in 1501. The city has been a commercial hub and an important cultural centre since the Renaissance, and has emerged as a centre ...
