Basel vs Zurich
I am taking a river cruise down the Rhine in October. I have the ability to pre-night for 2 nights in Basel (where the cruise starts) or I can pre-night in Zurich. Which do people recommend and why?
For background I did a tour group of northern italy and switzerland: Milan 2 nights, Stresa 2 nights, Zermatt 2 nights, Lucerne 2nights. Zermatt and lucerne were both lovely but there was nothing like staring at the Matterhorn from my balcony. I enjoy photography, food, art/architecture, history, nature.
I appreciate your replies. Thanks.
