Christmas Market in Basel

Having done an Avalon Waterways cruise along the Rhine River in October, I yearn to do this cruise at Christmas time. Germany really knows how to do Christmas Market. Most cruises start in Basel, Switzerland - where every Saturday is a feast of cheeses, breads, fruits and good cheer. The people of Basel are friendly and the market sellers that come down from the mountains are even friendlier.





A great website for information on the Christmas market in Basel and other locations can be found here. Basel is such a magical time any time of the year, but it must be especially beautiful at Christmas. I know what I will ask from Santa for next year!

    Unfortunately no. It looks very pretty all lit up.

    I would like to go at Christmas as well. Usually I choose to leave Europe for the winter months. Maybe next year I will try to stick around a bit longer.

    Might be worth it, Heather. It looks very pretty. I was there in October and it was quite chilly. Almost felt like Christmas before the decorations.
