City Information
Memmingen

Memmingen is a small Bavarian city that often serves as a gateway for travelers headed to the Bavarian Alps or Lake Constance. The city's founding dates back to the days of the Roman Empire, and many ruins of ancient structures are scattered throughout the city. The old town quarter is among the most popular attractions in Memmingen. It features many Baroque houses festooned with spiral details, unique rooflines, and other playful architectural elements. The local Renaissance market, located next to the town hall, is also extremely picturesque.
Don't miss the chance to walk along the path of the old town's medieval walls. Portions of the walls and five towers still stand and show what the town used to look like. Where moats used to surround the town walls in the Middle Ages, now several public parks offer recreation and spots for scenic strolls.
Since Memmingen is so small, it is easy to get around the town center on foot. To reach this quaint paradise, you can travel via plane, train, or bus. The Allgäu Airport Memmingen is a very basic airport that welcomes a couple of flights, but taking the train or bus offers many more travel times. Deutsche Bahn trains from cities like Ulm and Munich arrive at a railway station near the town center. Intercity buses connect Memmingen to other cities, including Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, and Berlin.

Basel is bordered by France to the west and Germany to the east, with the river Rhine running directly through the city. This culture-centric destination is known for containing Switzerland's highest concentration of museums. With over 40 museums, roughly one per square kilometer, you're guaranteed to find at least one museum that fits your interests. Of course, it's got classic art museums like the Fine Arts Museum and the Jean Tinguely Museum, but you'll write home about the niche ones like Basel Paper Mill (a museum about paper and printing) and Toys Worlds Museum.
Basel's Old Town area will give you a taste of the city's history, with its cobblestoned streets and medieval churches, as well as several beautiful fountains. In the Marktplatz, or market square, check out the bold red City Hall, as well as even more museums, these ones devoted to Basel's history.
Basel is also home to Switzerland's oldest zoo, founded in 1874. Conveniently located in the heart of Basel, the zoo lets you get up close and personal with animals from the tiniest insects to the grandest elephants. Plus, you can learn more about the zoo's conservation projects.
Basel is well-situated for easy travel to other countries due to its proximity to France and Germany, as well as its transportation options. The world's only tri-national airport, EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, is only 4km from Basel. This unique airport is located on both French and Swiss territory but also serves travelers to nearby Freiburg, Germany. Basel also welcomes national and international train routes, and many European bus services stop in the city.
