Why we like it
Basel's Christmas market around Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz is one of the best-loved in Switzerland, and the city sits where Switzerland, France and Germany meet, so you can add a day in Alsace or the Black Forest. Jack's Flight Club also rates it as an easy, safe city for solo travellers. Flights at around half the usual price leave more for a guided tour or day trip.
