Attraction

Bridge Basel, view France
Basel is one of the Switzerland cities surrounded by France and Germany, with 190,000 inhabitants. We can find a lot of surprises, because 2,000 years of history is located on the bend of the Rhine. It offers a unique range of culture and art and possesses one of Europe's most attractive and best preserved Old Towns.

Attraction | "The Zoo/Zolli"

Vivarium zoo Basel
The Balois lovingly refer to their zoo, opened in 1874, by the diminutive Zolli. Some 6,000 animals, about 600 hundred species, live in this park of around 11 hectares (about 28 acres). About 1 million people visit the Zolli every year. In the number of visitors, that puts it second only to Switzerland's most popular attraction, the Rhine Fall in Schaffhausen.
