The life of an expat is a wonderfully exciting and educational experience. But at times it can also be rather frustrating as we deal with the daily challenges of learning a new culture, overcome a language barrier, and struggle to find what we need for our families and our sanity! Basel Life Magazine can help you make the most of your experience in Basel, however long or short that may be. Basel Life Magazine is written by expats for expats, so we include the information we believe will be relevant to you! Ten times a year, we bring you up-to-date information on what to do in and around the city, including events for all age groups and interests, as well as practical information about life in Basel and Switzerland. Here is some of what you can find in each issue, and there is much, much more!

Each issue includes a color-coded “centerfold” calendar of all the events listed in the magazine that you can pull out and use as a guide for the month. The color coding directs you to the section where you can find more information.
