When you cross the river (from old town and a side where train station is), Manor is just a few…read moresteps away from the bridge. It is a department store having great super market on the basement level and good food court on the 5th floor (it says restaurant on the directory). It is very reasonable and lots of options for salad, desserts and fresh fruit juices. They offer three sizes at different prices. You can choose portion size too! On 4th floor, you can find some Switzerland souvenirs and cute accessories/toys. On basement level, there are salad bar and bakery and supermarket. Prices are good (a little cheaper than Coop store or other supermarket). PS: Dairy stuff, chocolate and bread are so good and cheap! Get some!!!

Manor is a department store of similar style/quality as Macy's (USA) or John Lewis (UK) BUT in the basement there is a grocery store/food hall that is simply amazing!! What's most amazing is it really can be your everyday place to shop - but in addition to your onions, potatoes, juice, milk, flour, cleaning supplies..... there is also an astounding selection of cheeses, meats, poultry, fish, fresh bakery for breads and cakes and a small café with pizzas, salads, stir-fry's (a bigger café is on the top floor). There is a good selection of organic produce (labelled BIO), and most of the fruit and veg are local and very seasonal. In the US and UK I got used to having access to pretty much anything at any time of the year, so the seasonality was a bit strange at first but now I look forward to changes in produce as the year progresses. Besides the cheese.... I mean food, there is a good selection of accessories (I LOVE tights and nearly passed out when I saw the selection), clothing for all the family, beautiful home goods, and a good selection of electronics. Prices are, well, Swiss but overall its not too bad and twice a year (Jan and July) there are really good sales. Maybe being within walking distance wasn't such a good idea..... ;-)

I just don't understand how Zara does not accept returns without paper receipt... it's 2022 for…read moregoodness sakes ... the clothing quality is diminishing and the sizes are just plain odd and do not match with conventional US size standards... Also, the shop is always understaffed ... No one has time to wait an entire hour to cash out ... customers deserve better ... smh

Considering how expensive things are in Switzerland, Zara is a great place for shopping. Prices are…read moresimilar to ones you find in the US and especially, when there is sale, you might find much cheaper but more fashionable stuff than US. If you are in Basel, you might end up paying 30-40CHF for one t-shirt at a department store. Why don't you stop by Zara and see if you get lucky to find a great bargain? PS: Sale items are on the 2nd floor (for women)
