How about a visit to St. Jakobspark, home of the FC Basel football club? But it is not only football fans that get their money’s worth in Basel. With its exhibition centre, the city offers the perfect infrastructure for many event organisers. More than 25 trade and public exhibitions are held here every year. Among them - the world’s most important art fair: Art Basel. And if you still haven’t had enough, you shouldn’t miss a visit to the Basel Carnival. During the so-called “three most beautiful days of the year”, jugglers and other funny characters transform Basel’s city centre into a colourful madhouse.In addition to leisure activities, Basel has always been an important commercial and financial centre. Due to its good trade connections across the river Rhine, Basel was already an important transhipment point for silk weaving in its early years. Over time, the industry sector switched to the pharmaceutical and chemical groups that shape today’s economic activity in Basel. In 2019, Basel was ranked among the ten cities with the highest quality of life in the world, along with other two Swiss cities - Geneva and Zurich.Time to come over and discover the city on the Rhine!
