Found Basel to be unfriendly and not that interesting. Good public transportation but our stay of 2 days was 2 days too long. Go to another Swiss city or as we did, train to Munich and see a fantastic, friendly city with tons to do. Basel has a nice old town area, but not different from the many other ciities you will visit in Germany, Switzerland, etc. ...
Since our flight into Basel was delayed, we didn’t get to do anything there but get on the van and then the ship. Alas! An unfair rating but all I can do. ...
