If you're looking to tick off as many countries as possible, a travel expert has recommended a border city in Europe that will allow you to visit three in just one day.

Travel blogger Chyna took to TikTok to reveal that this is her favourite "hack" on her adventures as she attempts to squeeze in as many destinations as possible. The city she suggested visiting is Basel, Switzerland, and it is a great jumping off point for adventures in two other nations, too, owing to its unique location.

"It borders both France and Germany, which means you can spend the morning in Germany shopping, the afternoon in France and the evening back in Basel having dinner," Chyna enthused. She continued, explaining that the city sits on a tripoint (or border triangle) where the three countries meet - meaning you can walk between them in as little as 15 minutes.

She continued: "There's also a bridge where you can see all three countries at once, and there's even a monument marking the exact point where they all meet." Germany is accessible via a tram - a 20-minute ride from Basel city centre.

"You will need your passport with you as you go over the border on the ride," Chyna warned. "Border control agents come on the tram before it stops in Germany and check your ID, and if you are from the UK it needs to be your passport - your driving licence won't be accepted."

Chyna went on to document her trip, revealing that when you get off the tram you can find a shopping centre, a restaurant and a bridge that crosses into France. "There's a tiny village where you can get lunch and as soon as I stepped into France, I could use my EU roaming [data] because I had to use an e-Sim in Switzerland [as it is not part of the European Union]," she advised.

She added: "What I love about the trip is that each country has its own vibe, even though they are literally minutes apart. The whole experience is so unique - it's a cool way to travel."

Chyna closed by noting that Basel has other benefits, as it serves as the perfect "travel hub" for day trips to Lucerne and Zurich in Switzerland and Strasbourg in France, as well as other destinations in France and Germany.

The Basel tourist board adds: "The striking border triangle building is the result of an architectural competition to which Swiss, German and French architects were invited in 1990.

"On the first floor of the futuristic building are a bar, an event room and a terrace with a border-spanning view of the Rhine. In summer, the 'sand oasis' on the ground floor invites guests to relax. The beach area with its sand, palm trees and cocktail bar makes for a holiday atmosphere.

"An ideal way to discover the border triangle is a harbour tour with the Basler Personenschifffahrt cruise company. Or explore the Rhine in and around Basel on a 'Rhytaxi' water taxi."
