Basel, one of Switzerland’s underrated tourist destinations, has a beautiful medieval old town centre, a fascinating carnival, and several world class art museums built by architects like Renzo Piano, Mario Botta and Herzog & De Meuron. Basel is often overlooked for other Swiss cities, but this art capital has plenty of style, rich in architecture old and new. You will find 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 many more.
