Basel is a Swiss city and the capital of the canton of Basel-Stadt, which also includes the communities of Riehen and Bettingen. After Zurich and Geneva, Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland with 173,552 inhabitants. Basel is considered the cultural capital of Switzerland. With almost forty museums throughout the canton and a wide range of cultural offerings, Basel is famous for its numerous world-class art and cultural institutions, which also makes the city one of the largest cultural centers in Europe in relation to its size and population. The city's art museum exhibits what is generally considered to be the most important public art collection in Switzerland.[8] The collection, including the "Amerbach Cabinet" acquired by the city in 1661, is the oldest publicly accessible art museum in the world.

The University of Basel, founded in 1460, is the oldest in Switzerland and one of the oldest in Europe. Over the centuries, Erasmus of Rotterdam, Paracelsus, Daniel Bernoulli, Leonhard Euler, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Jaspers, Nobel Prize winner Tadeus Reichstein and philosopher Jeanne Hersch have taught and researched here, among others. The first Zionist Congress was also held in Basel in 1897 under the leadership of Theodor Herzl. In total, the congress was held ten times in the city on the Rhine before the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, more often than in any other city in the world.

The Basel Minster and its palace form the historical center of the city on the Rhine
Basel is a leading global center for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, a world-famous exhibition center and an important location as a banking center; the Bank for International Settlements has its global headquarters in Basel. The same applies to the two pharmaceutical companies Novartis and Hoffmann-La Roche and the insurance company Bâloise Holding, among others.

In 2019, the management consulting firm Mercer ranked Basel, along with Zurich and Geneva, among the ten cities with the highest quality of life in the world.
