I was in Lugano, then I moved to Basel...
Lugano is so beautiful that I did not want to leave it.
But now, I love Basel.
The city is nearly located on the 3 countries : Switzerland, France and Germany.
These countries share the same airport (Mulhouse) .
Here people enjoy the old city and the river. They come to the river like French come to the Riviera : swimming, picnic, walking, biking.
Basel is a city for bikers. They know how to take time to walk, bike, live and love.
The place is nice and quiet.
Many concerts and events in summer.
Basel is a great place to visit and to stay, mostly if you are with your friend !
- Pros:here, we take time to live and to love
- Cons:good transportation and tram
- In a nutshell:a city for bikers

The Basel Cable Cars are the boats on the Rhein river. They have no engine, it is only the river and the waves... You... more travel advice

I visited Basel while I lived in Geneva (we called it "Bale"), and remember best the wonderful art that the town is famous for, especially the Jean Tinguely museum. I have been "homesick" for Switzerland since I left!
Wonderful pics of Basel in your travelogue. Amicalement. J.
Basel is a fascinating city. I enjoyed your pictures.
Lucky you to be living here at the moment Tom. Thank you for these helpful tips.
Hi Tom! " I enjoy reading about these out-of-the way places in your country. They're all different, but each is interesting." Regards from Slovenia.
interesting and helpful tips.
Some very useful tips there. Good work, indeed.
Nice place to live in, it seems beautiful. Well done Tom. :-)
