A Little-Known Swiss Downtown and A Standard Swiss Hotel

People who have been to the beautiful country of Switzerland will instantly point to either Zurich or Bern or to some other famed Swiss city as perfect tourist destinations. Yet, there is one other Swiss city that some people, especially tourists, rarely talk about in their voyages to the city of Alps, which is quite sad, because the said city is actually the second largest in Switzerland and is considered one of the oldest as well.

The city being referred to is none other than Basel, and it is one Swiss territory that voyagers should quietly include in their schedule. For one, it is known as the pharmaceutical center of Switzerland and has uninterruptedly portrayed host to the annual Autumn Fair, a chief Swiss trade fair regularly held since 1471.

Another argument to visit Basel is its many historic landmarks, the more vital ones of which are the Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, the Basel townhall Rathaus, and the Basel plaza Barfuesserplatz. These benchmarks have their own colorful histories and getting to see them is unquestionably a unique experience.

Of course, in order to fully enjoy a Basel journey, one will need to have a fine place to stay in. For this, there is the St. Gotthard Swiss Quality Basel Hotel that boasts of a total of 94 outstanding rooms, 89 of which are totally renovated, with the remaining five serving as duplex suites.

Operating since 1929, the rooms at the opulent Hotel St. Gotthard are equipped with recent facilities. However, what will definitely attract visitors to this Basel-based hotel is its grand buffet breakfast, simply the perfect way to set out a pleasurable trip to historic Basel.
