Basel for foodies

Basel is Switzerland‘s third-most-populous city and is located where the Swiss, French and German borders meet.

It has over 40 museums and one of the most beautiful old towns in Europe with narrow streets and over 300 fountains. The architecture in Basel is an eclectic mixture from medieval and modern buildings.

And last but not least the city has a huge variety of restaurants, cafés and bars with delicious international food in fancy locations. This minimap show some of my favourite places there.

4. Kult Bakery & Café

Probably the best bakery in Basel with a fine selection of handmade bread, quiches, cakes, croissants and an incredible pain au chocolat, like in France. While drinking your coffee you can watch the bakers make all the lovely pastries.

6. HEJKØH

Cute shop and café with carefully selected living, lifestyle and household products from Sweden. The café is named Wohnzimmer, that means livingroom, because you are actually sitting in a space surrounded by furniture, plants and lovely pictures and all the beautiful items around you are for sale.
