Baselworld: A Typical Day in Pictures. Commuting From Zürich to Basel.
These pictures will show you what our typical day attending Baselworld looked like. Since we were staying at the fabulous Park Hyatt Hotel in Zürich, we had to commute to Basel everyday. We did this daily for almost a whole week.
Now, it's your turn to experience the journey and pretend you were there with us.
