Most people don't come to Basel for Basel — they pass through it on the way to somewhere else. But this is the one city in Europe where Switzerland, France and Germany actually meet, and its trams cross the border like it's nothing. I came in expecting a minor Swiss stopover. I left wondering why this city doesn't get talked about more. In this video, I'm testing whether Basel is genuinely one of Europe's most underrated city breaks . 📍 Watching this because you're planning a trip to Switzerland, France, or Germany? This one's for you — Basel works as a base for all three.
