Driving ‘through’ Basel on the way to England it appears to be a city consisting solely of very large pharmaceutical companies, railway sidings and urban motorways. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find it has a beautiful old town oozing 15th century charm, and can be proud of its cyclists who not only stop for pedestrians at zebra crossings, but also don’t harass people on the pavements either, I certainly hope to visit again.
