Basel claims to have Europe’s longest illuminated Christmas street. I do not know if this is true but anyhow, it is pretty long.
My photograph was taken in ‘Freie Strasse’ looking towards ‘Bankverein’.
I found the following text in a British travel brochure: “Basel is the centre of one of Europe’s most exciting Christmas regions. In November of each year, the cosmopolitan city on the Rhine surpasses itself in the scale and attractiveness of its preparations for the coming Advent period. Basel has a deep-rooted tradition as Switzerland’s most beautiful and largest Christmas city, and is well worth a visit every year.
