It is a small city, but Basel boasts 40 museums, countless theaters featuring musical theater, ballet, and stage productions. With 300 days of sunshine a year, Basel has plenty of outdoor festivals, cinemas, and markets. It has its own carnival too. Basler Fasnacht is a three-day festival that is the biggest festival in Switzerland featuring masked musicians and performers. Basel has much to offer. I’ve lived there a number of years and still haven’t explored all its nooks and crannies. The museums alone would take quite awhile. The big one everyone is eager to do once (and with good reason) is the Glacier Express, which crosses over the Furka, Oberalp and Bernina passes on the eight-hour ride between Zermatt and St Moritz in Graubünden’s Upper Engadin. Riveting views of meadows, forests, fast-flowing turquoise rivers, canyons, castles, big-shouldered mountains and glaciers keep you glued to the window. The entire journey is a remarkable feat of 1930s engineering, but special mention goes to the Landwasser viaduct – the gravity-defying six-arched bridge that leaps between Tiefencastel and Filisur, and the Oberalp Pass (2033m/6670ft), harnessing the true wilderness of the Swiss Alps.

Something that kept us going during the last one and a half years was our strong willingness to get together with our destination (Basel) and never to disappear from the landscape,” said Switzerland Tourism director Martin Nydegger, adding that hosting Canadian travel agents was a great way to emphasize that resilience and to declare “We’re ready to go” when travel began its first tentative steps towards recovery.Even if you don’t cycle the Rehberger-Weg you should still visit Foundation Beyeler. One of our favorite museums in Basel was the Contemporary Art Museum of Foundation Beyeler. Foundation Beyeler is situated on a beautiful property that contains the private collection of Hildy and Ernst Beyeler. Like I said earlier as well, it’s very important to get your entry and exit points right. Pre-decide the spot from where you’d b e exiting the river again. You have to plan this, as it takes some time to get all the way to the side.

To be honest, when Air Canada hosted its famed almost-annual travel agent “Race” early this fall, the airline could have sent participants by camel train to Timbuktu and they would have been thrilled, such was the enthusiasm by most for their first trip since the pandemic began. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case and instead, Air Canada selected beautiful, bountiful Basel, Switzerland, for its gala event.Planning tip: Reaching the glacier is part of the fun. From Fiesch, take the cable car up to Fiescheralp, then beyond to Eggishorn for your first glimpse of the mighty Aletsch. 12. Walk among vines in Lavaux

But we’re not just talking canvas here. These imaginative overnighters are ones that you’ll be raving about for years to come – from beautifully made-up beds plonked on top of remote mountains to a stylishly converted gondola on the edge of a crag, a bed under an apple tree and a "beehive" pod with views of Eiger’s mile-high North Face. And with this being Switzerland, they are not just clever but comfortable too.As you can see, Basel Switzerland is an amazing city to visit. Once you dig deeper beyond the cathedral and exploring the old town there are so many things to see and do, you will fall in love with Basel too. For many, “the most special moment” in Basel is Carnival, a centuries-old annual festival so ingrained in the consciousness and identity of the city that it has earned recognition on UNESCO’s intangible cultural list. Our Air Canada Race team was invited to watch school kids practice their drumming and fifing chops at practice, months ahead of the Feb.-March festival. Delightfully teetering between organization and chaos, costumed revellers “go wild” for three days – it always begins the Monday after Ash Wednesday – though Carnival is a decidedly family-friendly amalgamation of parades, music, and food. After being cancelled for the past two years, Carnival is set to return March 7-9, pandemic permitting.
