Plus, because Basel is right in a corner between Switzerland, France, and Germany, there are lots of lovely art experiences outside of the city as well. Personally, I like to send people to Colmar [France] to see the Isenheim Altarpiece, which I think is one of the most stunning works of art ever created. That’s about an hour’s drive. If people are interested in new media they can go to Karlsruhe [Germany] to the ZKM [Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie], or if they are interested in architecture they can make a short trip to Le Corbusier’s chapel [of Notre Dame du Haut] at Ronchamp [France]. And it’s also easy to get to the Black Forest or Alsace. It’s asparagus season, so you can eat very well in the restaurants there.
