Basel City

MY flight landed at Zürich airport almost exactly on schedule at 5.15pm.
There was a delay disembarking, but I breezed through customs with no one asking to check my passenger locator form or my proof of being fully vaccinated.
Indeed the only minor problem I had was explaining why I was visiting Switzerland - my pronunciation of "Schachspiel" was insufficient, but "chess" got the job done.
I had time at the airport for a coffee and to buy a roll and a drink to have on the train, which, with one change at Zürich's main station, got me to Basel before 7.30pm.
And that left time for me to find the old town and get my first impressions in the evening gloom.
