The best way to enjoy these old streets is by following one of the five city walks. Each walk takes visitors on a different tour of the city and each is demarcated with wayfinding signs in one of five distinct colors. It was a pure pleasure to walk around without a map, playing a game of finding the next sign that would point me on my way. Photo 7 of 12 in Touring Basel, Switzerland, Part 1 by Miyoko Ohtake
