Basel Bound

There is yet another way to get to Basel, Switzerland (“Swiss Carnival Tinged With Bizarre Traditions,” Feb. 2), and that’s via the K-D Ship Line from Rotterdam up the Rhine River. Basel is the end of the line for this relaxed method of travel.

For accommodations in Basel, it would be hard to find any better than at the Drei Koenigen (Three Kings), which claims to be the oldest hotel in continuous service in Europe. However, its facilities have been modernized and upgraded to meet the most demanding tastes.
