The town is proud to be recognized as a successful sporting city in Switzerland, especially in soccer, and for this reason will be one of the venues for the 2008 European Championships. Basel is also busy hosting the annual carnival which is a major cultural event. You will have to be an early riser though, the carnival starts at four o´clock in the morning!
Cost of living in Switzerland
