Pub Crawl Basel

Posted by GalwayPub 13 April 2008

Wonderful journey around an eclectic bunch of bars with people from around the world. Super way to meet people in Basel early in the week when otherwise not a lot is happening.

Balthazar

Quite the most delicious meal I have ever had. Goats' cheese with cous cous and figs; seared tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes.

The atmosphere was relaxing. Although there was a terrace, we ate in as the evening was cool. Efficient, warm and friendly service.

Off the main pedestrian shopping street. Steinbachgasslein 34.

Carnival in Basel (Fasnacht)

Posted by AnitaB 25 February 2007

The annual carnival celebration in Basel is unlike any other: held after Lent begins, filled with traditions, images and rituals dating back to the Middle Ages, a truly (Protestant) Swiss celebration. Fasnacht is for the locals, although visitors are welcome to watch the parades and displays. This year's Fasnacht kicks off at 4:00am on Monday, February 26th.
