Red sandstone spires above a green river, a painted town hall, steep lanes and the mountains a train ride away. Weighing up Basel Switzerland guided tours? These are the places the day takes you.

The set opens with the Minster, seen from the river, over the roofs and up a lane, and from its own height at dusk. Then the Rathaus on Marktplatz and its painted courtyard, the fountains and the lanes of the Old Town, a sandstone gate and the Mittlere Brücke.

After the river by day and by night comes the country the day trips reach: the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, a lake below a limestone ridge, a waterfall in an Alpine valley, a mountain train, Thun Castle, the Rhine Falls and a canal in Alsace.
