SWITZERLAND - THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS CITY IN EUROPE
Basel is a city on the Rhine River in northwestern Switzerland, close to the French and German borders. Its medieval old town is centered around the Market Square (Marktplatz), dominated by the red sandstone town hall built in the 16th century. Its 12th-century Gothic cathedral overlooks the city and is home to the tomb of the 16th-century Dutch humanist Erasmus, some of whose works are housed in the city's university.
The Basel Christmas Market in Switzerland is one of the most beautiful and authentic Christmas markets in Europe, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year. Here is a detailed description:
1. Main locations
The Basel Christmas Market is divided into two large squares:
Barfüsserplatz: This is the center of activity, with numerous wooden houses decorated with lights and Christmas ornaments. Here you can find gifts, handmade decorations, sweets and local delicacies.
Münsterplatz: Located next to Basel’s impressive Gothic cathedral, this square offers a more traditional atmosphere, with activities for children, a huge Christmas tree and plenty of culinary delicacies.
2. Spectacular decorations
Basel is known for its extraordinary festive lighting, which covers the streets of the old town (Altstadt) with thousands of lights. The magical atmosphere is complemented by the shop windows, which are decorated with great care, sometimes turning into real works of art.
3. Culinary delights
The fair offers a wide range of traditional dishes:
Raclette and fondue: Swiss cheese specialties served with bread or potatoes.
Wienerli with mustard: Traditional sausages.
Basler Läckerli: Traditional biscuits with honey, spices and almonds.
Mulled wine (Glühwein): Perfect for warming up in the cold winter air.
4. Activities for children
The fair includes a special workshop for children, where they can make their own Christmas decorations, gingerbread and other festive creations. In addition, Christmas train rides are very popular.
5. Special events
Basel organizes a number of related events, such as:
Christmas choirs singing in front of the cathedral.
Handicraft workshops for families.
Guided tours of the old town, highlighting the city's history and Christmas traditions.
6. Historical atmosphere
The old town of Basel, with its cobbled streets and medieval buildings, adds a special charm to the fair. Many visitors appreciate the contrast between the historical tradition and the modern spirit of the fair.
7. When is it held?
The Basel Christmas Market usually starts at the end of November and runs until Christmas Eve. The daily schedule is from noon to evening.
8. Accessibility
Basel is easily accessible by train, car or plane. The main train station (Basel SBB) is close to the fair, and Basel-Mulhouse Airport is a short distance away.
