(2025·四川德阳模拟)Home to 40 museums,Basel has the highest concentration of museums in the country.It also has a beautiful Old Town,modern architecture,and the Rhine—an inviting spot to rest a while.
Description
Basel is Switzerland's oldest university city.Historic landmarks of the city include the large market square with its richly decorated red sandstone town hall and the late RomanesqueGothic cathedral.During a walk through the Old Town,a visit to the “Läckerli Huus” to try the traditional Basel honey cake is well worth your while.Basel is traditionconscious and openminded at the same time,a fact born out by several modern buildings designed by renowned architects such as Herzog & de Meuron,Mario Botta,and Richard Meyer.
Almost 40 museums make Basel the city with the highest density of museums in the country.Internationally known museums,such as the Basel Art Museum,the museum devoted to the iron sculptor Jean Tinguely,the Fondation Beyeler and the Museum of Cultures attract a great many visitors,as do several galleries and playhouses.Basel is among other things home to the symphony orchestra and the chamber orchestra.
Basel is a green city.The Botanical Gardens,the Merian Gärten and the banks of the Rhine are perfect places to relax and stay for a while.You can easily explore Basel on foot or by bike.There are four Rhine ferries that connect Grossbasel with Kleinbasel.

Basel's Christmas market on Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz is considered one of the most beautiful and largest in Switzerland.During the preChristmas period,many events and spectacular special exhibitions in the museums also enrich the city's cultural offerings.
Summer
Basel's secret landmark is the Rhine.People relax in the charming buvettes—the lovingly designed,small openair gastronomic establishments—or let themselves be carried along by the gentle flow in the river.On a hot summer day,there is hardly anything more beautiful than cooling off by swimming in the Rhine while watching the backdrop of the city pass by.
