A true city of culture, Basel is located on the northern border of Switzerland and it even has suburbs in France and Germany. Home of the most exquisite museums, archives, secular buildings and churches in the world, Basel is perhaps the most beautiful city in Switzerland. Hotels are not cheap in Basel, but if you can afford the accommodation, you'll be generously rewarded by this experience. The Munster Church with the Munsterplatz are some of the most impressive sights in the Old Town, but this entire area is so well preserved, that you fell like you're traveling back in time.

If you stay at a hotel located in the center of the city, than by simply walking around, you'll have the chance to stumble across roman and medieval archeological sites.
