OVERVIEW
Lying just inside Switzerland's borders with France and Germany, Basel is the country's second-largest city and by no means an ordinary provincial town. In fact, its EuroAiport is on French soil and is shared with Mulhouse, France and the German city of Freiburg im Breisgau. Rhine River cruises from Holland and Germany end here and trains from Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt, and other European cities also use it as a connecting site.
The city is an attractive old town with fine buildings like the Munster (Cathedral), the renovated City Hall, the Barfusserkirche (now the Historical Museum), and the Spalentor that once served as a defensive gateway to Alsace.
Another place of interest is the Roman town Augusta Raurica in Augst, just 12 km (7.5 miles) of the city center. Excavations and Roman treasure, a full-size reconstruction of a Roman house and a Roman farm animal park can be seen here.
