InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Basel

Hello to all Americans in Basel! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Basel? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Basel which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?

There’s no doubt about it: Basel is one of the most liveable cities worldwide. The “Cultural Capital of Switzerland” is a multicultural city known for its pharmaceutical industry, an above-average quality of life, easy connections to neighboring France and Germany, and much more! With the efficient public transportation network consisting of tram as well as rural and urban bus lines, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in neighborhoods such as Hirzbrunnen or even neighboring towns like Riehen, which are just a short commute away from Basel’s center.

Although Basel has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Basel, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.
