Overview

So if you find yourself in Switzerland, the city of Basel is a pretty cool city to be based in. The airport (Basel Mulhouse) is small and compact so easy access and Basel has one of the highest number of museums, galleries for such a small city. the Paper Mill, is still a working Mill and although it's in the original old house is fully accessible. There is a big lift to all 3 floors , although there are one or two side rooms where a wheelchair can't access but it is a house from circa 1400hundreds, I think. There are demonstrations for making your own paper, bookbinding, scribing, big printing presses. Something for everyone, kids can touch things, theirs noise, smells etc. right outside is a nice cafe overlooking the river Rhine, again fully accessible. I myself am not a wheelchair user, but I happen to stroll around the world and hope to find the odd locations that might just be tempting . I look out for lifts, ramps and accessible toilets. And easy transport to and from the location. This has the works. :-)

Speak three languages, great for demonstrations, knowledgeable and helpful.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I tend to score on the conservative side just as I probably don't know all the true tricks to look out for. I try to keep my eyes peeled for lifts, ramps, loos, and wide doorways and even surfaces. I'm sure I miss the odd thing or two.
