Christmas Time in Basel
The second NTA On-Site-Education from December 5 – 11, 2003, takes you to Basel, where the Rhine widens, right in the three-country corner of Germany, France and Switzerland. Main subject of the trip is "Cities & Culture" in Switzerland. Due to its predestined location in the heart of Europe, Basel at the bend of the Rhine has always been a major traffic hub. Basel’s cultural riches are manifested in every corner of the city. For instance, visitors can choose from more than thirty museums. In addition, the pulsating inner city and the romantic old town incorporate a giant shopping paradise. In December Basel is having one of the most beautiful and oldest Christmas markets in Europe. Individual post-convention inspection trips take you to Bern, Fribourg, Montreux/Lausanne, Central Switzerland or Zurich. All of those cities also offer a lot of opportunities to experience pre holiday season. Also the Basel trip includes a workshop with approx. 25 suppliers and different product seminars on the cities & culture in Switzerland.
