2Basel, Switzerland – Where Festivity Meets Elegance
Basel hosts one of Switzerland’s most beautiful Christmas markets, spreading across Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz. The city’s medieval Old Town sparkles with festive garlands and the scent of cinnamon pastries.
Artisans sell wooden toys, candles, and fine Swiss chocolates. The market near Basel Cathedral is particularly magical, with panoramic views over the Rhine River. As a bonus, Basel’s location makes it easy to hop over to nearby markets in France and Germany, creating a perfect cross-border holiday adventure.
