A Last Look at Basel
Just before leaving Switzerland I went to Basel a last time to take a walk through the old town, small Basel and by the Rhine. Here are the photos.
A big feature of both Basel and Liestal, I think, is the way they have painted and decorated the city halls. I'm not sure whether this is a typical 'Swiss' thing as it does not seem to be the case all over Switzerland but it's a regional feature as it appears that some towns in Southern Germany and may be in Austria have the same types of city halls.
I don't know how to explain it so I'll just show the few photos I took and that I like.

And a last one for today: the majestic Rhine
