Basel hotel offers green transport to guests

Swissotel Le Plaza Basel has teamed up with Basel Tourism to offer its guests ‘green' city tours using the electric vehicle, the Segway.

Basel Tourism has developed three sightseeing routes round the city for Swissotel's guests. The hotel now owns seven of the two-wheeled, battery-powered, personal transporters.

Participants in the tour can travel at speeds of up to 15km/h for up to two and a half hours on the routes.
