Basel was a major town in the middle ages , a legacy of this is the pretty Old Town . A highlight of a stroll round the city is a trip to the Munster and Kunstmuseum . After taking a chair lift up the mountain , buckle in for a heart-in-the-mouth ride of steep curves and white-knuckle loops . Outside of town is the 2,000 year-old Roman settlement of Augusta Raurica . The Rhine Valley region has some beautiful scenery but also some very bad driving conditions
