Visit to the Christmas Market in Basel, Switzerland
It was a two-day weekend trip we had to visit Christmas markets in some places in Europe. I have to wake up so early last November 24, 2012 to catch the bus in Regensburg. I set the alarm at 3:00 AM to get myself ready for the trip. Since 5 people plus their baggage won’t fit in my car, a friend indeed up of picking me at home. It was a bus trip I had with friends and we indeed had wonderful trips visiting Riquewihr and Strasbourg in France and Basel in Switzerland.
During our first day trip, we went first to Riquewihr and then in Basel. We stayed in a 5-star Hilton hotel in Basel. That trip that only cost 99.00 Euros which was really cheap and all worth to experience.
The Christmas market in Basel is located in Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz. There are around 180 stands and wooden huts in both areas where you can find various products sold by traders and practitioners of art and crafts from all over Switzerland and the Basel region
