Lost in Translation

Three places in Basel for Wednesday evening, October 26. 

Already arrived in Basel? Have you retreated to the hotel bar and are you waiting for ISMAR conference? Meet up with other ISMAR attendees and experience the differences between your and Swiss culture. 

We recommend three different places in Basel. All three places are in walking distance from the congress center. Some people may want to use "Foursquare",  a location-based social networking app. "check-in" at venues to look for your friends and other ISMAR attendees  (https://foursquare.com/). Below we give the foursquare address links also. 

 

"Bar Rouge"

Messeplatz 10
4058 Basel

Enjoy the panoramic view from the only high-rise building in Basel, see the city of Basel, the foothills of the Black Forest and the french "Alsace" from the 105 m tall Basel Trade Fair Tower ("Messeturm").
