Basel
Barfüsserplatz
The focus of Basel's Old Town is Barfüsserplatz, crisscrossed by trams and surrounded by terrace cafés. Rubbing shoulders with the fast-food joints and raucous pubs, on the corner with Steinenvorstadt, is the Yellow House, designed by Roger Diener, a yellowish concrete building adored by architects but ignored by the general public. Across the way is the Puppenhausmuseum (Doll's House Museum; daily 10am–6pm; Fr.7; 
www.puppenhausmuseum.ch ), with rather fun displays telling the story of the teddy – including plenty of venerable old bears – as well as glass-case displays of doll's houses.
