I'm going to the new museum for my birthday (again after my trip to the old one 2 years ago) and we are staying in Basel this time.Travelling on 20th march leave 22nd march.
Can anyone suggest a nice place to eat on the Saturday night?
Also anywhere to go to/visit?

 

I would check out:

Fondation Beyerle
https://www.fondationbeyeler.ch/en/

Kunstmuseum Basel
https://www.kunstmuseumbasel.ch/en/kunstmuseum-basel

Museum Tinguely
https://www.tinguely.ch/en.html

Vitra Design Museum
https://www.design-museum.de/en/information.html

Have a nice and safe trip!

 

walking along the Rhine and in the medieval streets by the cathedral is very nice. I missed the art museums cited above when I was there as it was just for a half day but they are known as a key highlight of the city.

 

can anyone recommend an eatery?

 

depends on what you like, I can recommend:
Markthalle, you can choose from a lot of different types of food to eat. It's an open space with different cuisines. https://www.altemarkthalle.ch

Tibits:
Is a vegetarian chain in Switzerland and they have a nice buffet with a lot of choices, their Locations have a really nice interior. I would go to the Steinen Location as it's the nicest of the two Tibits in Basel.

if you want to go go somewhere really fancy I can recommend the "Brasserie les trois Rois". I only went once and liked the french cuisine and the Whiskey. It's bit more pricy.

All on a small plate of about 20 kilometers....
FORTIS in Grenchen, Omega in Bienne and Longines in Sint-Imier

 

@SpeedyPhill I've always been curious about this: what is easily accessible to the public at Bienne for Omega? Is there a special OB or museum there you can visit?

Am also planning my Switzerland trip soon including a visit to Le Locle since I'm an Ulysse Nardin fan so thanks for thread OP!

Eeep - thanks @palatine. Shoulda Google'd harder :/

 

no worries @kiwi_kal

 

thanks for everyone's help but the trip is off till the virus nightmare is over, its not wise to make unnecessary trips at the moment
