Hi everyone,

I've just booked a train itinerary via RailEurope for an upcoming trip in October.

My girlfriend is letting me indulge my love of riding the rails in a two-day adventure out to Strasbourg (overnight) then on to Basel for lunch, Offenburg for a beer, back to Strasbourg for our bags, then back to Paris for dinner.

I was looking for any advice or help with places to see in Basel/Offenburg in a very short window. We'll have 4 hours in Basel and about 45 minutes in Offenburg (Enough time for a beer I hope!).

Here's the itinerary:

My goal was to ride as many difference trains as possible without getting on my girlfriend's nerves. I think I've done a fairly good job of it.

2 types of TGV
1 ICE ride
2 TER rides

Thanks in advance for any ideas. I'm very excited to try European railways for the first time along with my first high speed train ride (I should be able to add the Shinkasen sometime in 2018!)
