The Feldschloesschen Brewery is the place to go to if downing a cold beer is your favourite way to unwind at the end of a day. Ask about tours or simply sit back and savour their unique styles and flavours.

Even if you're not the betting kind, it's always a thrill to go to a casino. And the Casino Romanix is definitely no exception. Play a hand or two of blackjack or just grab a drink and absorb the glimmering atmosphere.

Strolling around the well-kept gardens and floral displays at the Botanischer Garten der Universitat feels like drifting through a colourful wonderland.

There's no need to venture deep into the forest to take in a bit of greenery. Sankt Johanns-Park and Green Meadow Park are just two of the appealing recreational hubs you'll discover amid this concrete jungle.

Basel offers a multitude of natural reserves, such as Sole Uno and Inseli. Two further areas to check out are Belchen and Reigoldswil - Wasserfallen.

Would you like a glimpse into Basel's history? Don't forget to visit Basel Town Hall and the Basel University. If time isn't a problem, Augusta Raurica and The Palantine are two more must-visits.

With its heavy walls and looming turrets, Dorneck Castle is a majestic structure. Admire its exterior or simply close your eyes and imagine it during its glory days.

Whatever your beliefs, Basler Muenster and Munsterplatz are great places to get in touch with your spiritual side. Another option is to see if there are any tours available at Eptingen Church and Diegten Protestant Church.
