Basel Old Town, located in the heart of Basel, Switzerland, is one of the best-preserved and most charming historic centers in Europe. The area is characterized by its narrow, winding streets, medieval buildings, and vibrant cultural scene. Key landmarks include the Basel Minster, a stunning Gothic cathedral with twin towers and a red sandstone facade, and the Rathaus, the town hall known for its distinctive red exterior and colorful frescoes.

The area hosts various events throughout the year, including the famous Basel Fasnacht, Switzerland's largest carnival. With its mix of historical architecture and modern cultural offerings, Basel Old Town is a popular destination for both tourists and locals.
