Basel: the ideal place to live and work
Basel is considered among the best cities in the world in which to live and work. It ranks 10th in the quality of life survey conducted by Mercer, a leading global consulting firm, sharing that position with Sydney. It also represents the third largest city in Switzerland right after Zurich and Geneva.
Of its approximately 200,000 inhabitants, more than 35 percent are foreigners-a fact that confirms its cosmopolitan and vibrant nature, aided by a strong pharmaceutical sector. This makes the city an ideal destination for many people who may need flexible housing solutions such as micro-living.
Basel: a city where living is a real pleasure
Basel is a very open and vibrant city, a characteristic that can be felt even by Swiss people returning home after living abroad.
Although German is the official language, which it is advisable to learn if one does not already know it, most citizens are fluent in English, making communication easy even for those who do not master German.
Thus, the quality of life in Basel is characterized by a balance between rather low tuition fees and significantly higher costs for the purchase of basic necessities.
The climate, while alpine, is pleasant all year round, especially during the summer months when one has the opportunity to spend much of one’s time outdoors, taking advantage of the venues along the Rhine River, where one can, if one wishes, take a dip for pleasant swims.
Those who are in Basel for study or work will not be disappointed. Despite the typical efficiency of the Swiss city, there is a strong focus on leisure, allowing people to fully enjoy what the city has to offer outside of their daily commitments.
