Basel 02/25 - 02/26

Following our grand adventure to Paris and Brussels, a little group of us headed to Basel for the weekend.  Located about two and a half hours from Nyon, Basel is right on the border with France and Germany.  Swiss German, the Rhine River runs through it and there is also the option to travel into the Black Forest.  We arrived on Saturday around 11am/noon-ish and headed to our hostel.  The Basel Backpacker Hostel was actually really cool - it was actually originally part of a warehouse area I believe but transformed into office space, a restaurant and the hostel.

It is attached to the back of this building (that sign isn't really there)

After checking into the hostel and receiving our free Basel travel cards, we headed out to explore a bit.  We traveled via tram to the main square of town - Marketplatz - where the town hall, market and all the shops were located.
