Best Sights To See - Rhine and Rhine Swimming, Family & Kids - Changing Nappies in Town

Basel tour guide Madeleine Wamister told us about one of the Best Sights To See in Basel: the river Rhine, which flows right through Basel, dividing the city into Grossbasel and Kleinbasel. The Rhine is around 1'230 km long, making it the second-longest river in Central and Western Europe, after the Danube. It provides recreation and inspiration and has moulded the history and architecture of the city. There's even a famous local song named after the river: "Z'Basel an mym Rhy". And of course you can take a dip in the river - Rhine swimming is a popular pastime on these hot summer days. This year's official Rhine Swim is on the 13th August. Listen to the segment here.

Laure Audidière is our Family & Kids contributor, giving you practical tips and tricks on what to do in Basel as a family. Today it's all about changing nappies (or diapers) when you're in town. Where can you go? Museums would be one option; or department stores like Pfauen, Globus and Manor. There are also a number of other locations you can use: certain shops or cafés, Basel-Stadt GGG Libraries like Im Schmiedenhof, the Family Centre on Freie Strasse 35, or the Union on Klybeckstrasse 95. For all the details, listen to Laure's segment here!
