Voice of Travelers to Basel
Shopping in Basel
We were hanging out with my friends when one of them came up with an idea that amazed all of us. The idea was to get a ticket for Basel to head there for shopping for clothes and kitchenware. All of us were financially able to cater for all finances including the ticket, visas and hotel expenses. So we started the plans on how to get a ticket and get to our destination. We used a travel agency that had package sales for the air ticket and accommodation. We confirmed the ticket was valid before the day of travelling. We arrived in Basel after a two hour flight. The next day we started with us heading out for shopping at the Old Basel. This as followed by visiting the famous Johann Wanner Christmas House and manor which is Basel's oldest department stone. Within no time our time was over we had to book our ticket back.

I woke up one day and decided enough was enough. I needed a break from my daily life and Basel was my tour destination on my bucket list. I did not have a lot of money but I had to make what I had work. I searched for ticket discounts and available ticket vouchers to Basel. I found a travel agency which had discounts so I got my return ticket from them. The ticket was by Air France.Once I confirmed my ticket was legit I started packing and getting everything else ready. I went straight to my hotel room after the long flight to Basel. I visited several tourist attractions such as the zoo, Kunstmuseum Basel minister. This was the break I needed. I boarded Air France for my ticket back home.
