Switzerland
Switzerland is a pristine country of lakes, mountains and forests. The best known of the continent`s mountain ranges, the Alpine chain, runs through most of Switzerland and provides the majority of the country`s magnificent natural sights. In the summer, towns such as Interlaken become green mountain centers for walking and mountaineering, and there are few places more naturally beautiful in the whole of Europe. Zurich, Geneva, Bern and Lucerne are models of Swiss efficiency, offering a wealth of perfectly serene history. Less busy are the lakeside resorts, including fashionable Montreux on Lake Geneva.

Basel
Basel sits snugly in the north-western corner of Switzerland, bordering both France and Germany. This strategic location on the Rhine River means Basel has historically held an important position as a commercial and trading hub. Few cities in Europe can match Basel for its concentration of cultural attractions and things to do. The city is a colorful mix of business visitors to the trade fairs, tourists thirsty for art and history, students of the oldest university in Switzerland, expatriates lured in by the many headquarters of multinational companies, and of course, the ever-patient Baslers with their lilting dialect and dry humor. Stroll the Old Town (Altstadt), Rathaus (Town Hall) and Marktplatz, Kunstmuseum Basel (Museum of Art), Basler Münster (Basel Minster), Spielzeug Welten Museum (Toy Museum), Spalentor (fortified gate), Zoologischer Garten (Zoo), Historisches Museum (Historical Museum), Jean Tinguely Museum and so much more!

It is on the UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage and boasts many museums, theatres, landmarks, cafes, restaurants and shops - not to mention the weekly market (and the lovely Christmas market) - all of which can be easily reached on foot. The Old Town of Bern has one of the longest "weatherproof" shopping malls in Europe under its almost 4 mile of covered arcades. The medieval atmosphere, with shops in the cellar vaults is unique and charming. Explore the Old Town (Altstadt), The Paul Klee Museum, Zytglogge (Clock Tower), Bern Cathedral, Gurten Mountain, Bern Historical Museum, Bundeshaus (Swiss Federal Building), BärenPark, Museum of Fine Arts, The Rose Garden, Einstein Museum, and so much more!

Zuri West, once the industrial section, has become the 'it spot' over the last decade, with loft living, galleries, museums, experimental theater and clubs.
