Art & Architecture
Basel is by far the art and architecture capital of Switzerland.
Its 40 museums, covering an area of almost 37 km2, can be easily reached on foot, mostly by strolling through romantic lanes and alleys in the Old Town. The highpoint in the artistic calendar is in June, when Basel takes centre stage as the venue for the world’s leading art fair.
