Basel & Bern Switzerland - And nearby city and mountain adventures. 1st Edition July 2024. Two engaging mid-size cities in central Switzerland, each with a distinctly different appeal. Basel is often referred to as Switzerland's capital of culture due to the many and varied museums. Bern is the capital of the country. Both cities have charming old towns to explore and the two are within easy reach of each other. Explore the rivers, museums, history and unique sights in one or both of these locations. This guide highlights the layout of each city and provides guidance on how to get around, including information on local passes and even the best areas for lodging. Then, if you wish to branch out further, this Starting-Point Guide provides overviews of a dozen different day trip destinations ranging from the cities of Zürich and Lucerne to mountain villages and area peaks. The concept behind this and other guides in this series is to use one of these cities as your base camp or "starting point" and then be able to take easy jaunts from there.
