This is a little vague so do some initial research first and come back with more specific questions.

Lots (I know I might be biased, but it's true). For the official tourist board website see here: https://www.basel.com/en
I lovely old town full of streets where you can't work out which century you are in, Minster (cathedral) and lots of museums.

It is a city for wandering around and soaking everything up. I hope you will enjoy it here.

We took the train from Zurich for a day trip to Basel, and are glad we did, having spent a lovely day in the picturesque city. We walked through the city center to the lovely outside market (Markplatz) where we ate lunch, having had "the best wurst". We then took a quick ferry ride across the Rhine. Spent a couple of hours in the impressive Kuntsmuseum. A day well spent discovering this small, but very artsy city.
