Although Basel is Switzerland's second largest city, it is far less well known than the largest, Zurich, the capital Bern, or other cities such as Geneva or Lausanne. Also, because hardly any package-tour groups from Taiwan come here, even those friends and relatives who have visited Switzerland before have never heard of this city.
雖然是瑞士的第二大城，但她的名氣遠不如第一大城蘇黎世、首都伯恩或日內瓦、洛桑等城市；加上幾乎沒有台灣的旅行團會到這裡來，「親友團」當中即使來過瑞士的也沒聽說過這個城市。
