Basel Vacation Guide

Basel is the third most populous city in Switzerland. It is located in northwestern Switzerland, bordering both Germany and France. Thus, it's an important transportation hub, housing three railway stations (Swiss, German and France) within the city borders. Public transportation is extensive both for city routes and the surrounding suburbs.

Due to the university, which is the oldest one in Switzerland, the population is quite young. It's spread over the whole city as well as a remarkable number of buildings designed by famous architects.
Basel is also famous for its old town, which has kept its medieval charm, the rhine where one can go swimming in summer and its museums . The people from Basel are proud of their city and culture, so that they even decided by a referendum to purchase two Picassos for the art museum

Everyone loves the local soccer team, FC Basel

It was a lazy day for all of us.  We woke up at noon time and had a ridiculously late brunch (or just lunch for other people but w/o breakfast). Feeling more like pests rather than visitors, Phydie and I helped in cleaning Ryan's flat, clearing out the rubbish on the floor (Phydie's shoes and …

The idea of going to Basel came out of short notice and more or less any means to go much further. I had been to Basel before and I really liked it there, so I thought I want to explore Switzerland a little more. The drive is usually about 4 hours long, but we left too late, around 7am instead…
