New in Basel, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Basel — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Basel lies in the tri-border area between Switzerland, Germany and France and, with around 14,000 students - above all at the University of Basel, Switzerland's oldest university - is a compact student city on the Rhine. The lively Kleinbasel with the Rheingasse and the Rhine promenade forms the heart of going out, while the Buvettes along the riverbank become a meeting point in summer. Those who study here swim down the Rhine in summer, party in clubs like the Nordstern, and experience the Basler Fasnacht.
