Cheers Take loads of cash, been a couple of times but not for a few years. It was expensive enough back then, God knows what it'll be like the way the pound is now. TBH, it's nice enough but pretty unremarkable. The only thing that I really remember is there is a fantastic old traditional restaurant in the main SNCF train station.

macy37 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Keep going to Freiburg. Basel is extremely unremarkable I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McVinceSCT Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I live one hour from Basel. I agree that it would be better to go to Freiburg. Nice town, nice market Christmas, not too big so you can make the most of it by walking. Colmar in France is wonderful too. Edit: What's the problem with Rothaus beer? It's not that bad!!!

Tartan_Don Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Cheers lads, have tae agree on Basel itself....pretty average. Nice enough and nae a bad wee Christmas market. The bars and restaurants are visually really nice but the food in the places I ate let it doon especially considering the price. Drink was awright, nae too pricey compared tae Londonshire...dinae think a tried the pilsner that got mentioned earlier Took a day trip through tae Frieburg, very nice. Quality couple a beer houses, names escape me the now. Enjoyable time but a lot nicer places tae visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
