Good day! Would like to ask some opinions regarding which city to visit in mid December for a day trip from Zurich. Basel or St Gallen? Not visiting museums but just strolling in the city. Both seem to have impressive Christmas markets too. Thank you.

Hi Uallin,

I haven’t been in the Christmas market in St Gallen, but the one in Basel is great. You can read a bit about the Christmas markets here: http://www.myswissalps.com/activities/christmasmarkets.

St Gallen is quite a small city. I recommend Basel. There is quite a lot to do, and even in winter the view of the Rhine river should be nice

I went to the Christmas market there about 25 years ago – it was superb
