Basel

Basel (or Basle) is Switzerland's third most populous city, situated on the River Rhine, in the German-speaking canton of Basel-Stadt.

Tchaikovsky stayed in Basel on the night of 18/30 December to 19/31 December 1892, on the way to see his former governess Fanny Dürbach at Montbéliard. While in particularly gloomy spirits, he found the town "dirty and depressing" [1] .
