1. August Festivities

Hooray, next week is National Day! On July 31, there'll be the big fireworks over the Rhein and on August 1, the official National Day festivities by the Government of Basel. These take place at the Water Tower (Wasserturm) on the Bruderholz (Bus No. 37 or Tram No. 16 and then walk). So if you don't have any plans for August 1 and can't get enough of Fireworks, that's the place to go. If you have a balcony or a terrace pointing to Bruderholz, get yourself a Margarita and enjoy the fireworks at home (they usually start at about 22h00/23h00)
