Switzerland
Have I missed anywhere obvious?

I work in Basel.
Extremely pleasant but extremely expensive.
Stay here...

Weather in July will be like Dubai. If you fancy it take a swim in the Rhine. Perfectly normally for the locals.
Short train journey to other cities or something like the Black Forest. Maybe a watch tour of one of the big companies.
My mate support Young Boys (lol) and it’s him 25 minutes after work to get to there.
Tried all sorts of flight combinations...BA from Heathrow works best.
Side note...considering FC Basel as my 2nd club. At least they have their own burger at McDonald’s. Not having this Young Boys thing.
A few years ago I got dragged to the BaselWorld watch fair by a massive Asian bloke who ran a sh*tty start-up lifestyle magazine. He said he'd booked us an Airbnb, but when we got there it was a rancid bedsit with only a single sofa bed for us to sleep on, together.
That was a really, really horrible two nights' sleep. No bum stuff, but given the extent of the physical contact between us during the night he may as well have :-(
It's an excellent way of saving on the catering. :shrug:
I'm more concerned by the naive African notion of driving back from a wedding while under the influence. I went to my sister's on Saturday and there was no fúcking way I was driving back before at least 24 hours had passed.
I usually stay here when I’m in Basel

Nice option with the main tram and train station outside
And they do take a lot of honeymooners. Been there long enough to know.
I did look at AirBnB option but too many variables to consider.
If you want something more homely then try:
Apartmenthaus Zum Trillen Basel
If I’m spending a long time over I go with this as the hotel scene can get boring.
PSRB "3 day honeymoon? Tight arse"
Accounts for the purse string tightening Season Ticket share scheme request
It might have been nearer two, tbf, but we were allowed to nip out for fag-breaks at least.

Quick flight to LA Rochelle and then a taxi to the Isle!
beats the off Bruges or Basel.
