[Hotel Bus]
A triple decker hotel bus, the Alfons Meilhamer Hotelbus-Reisen. Overnight sleeper buses are common in Asia but you don’t them in Europe with such a good train network. I can tell you from lots of personal experience it makes a big difference in comfort to be lying down when on an overnight bus.

Europe is renown for its bike friendly cities (well bike friendlier than US/UK/Australia anyway). This appears to be true in Basel, Switzerland.
Next to the Hauptbahnhof is an impressive bike park facility. From street level a gently sloping entry leads you underground to the Velopark.
[Velo Park Entrance]
Here you can leave your bike or hire one at a cheap rate (even by Swiss standards). I was there on a weekday morning and it was just about full. There are lockers, shower rooms and a cafe. This is connected underground to the main train station.
