One of the nicest shops in all of Switzerland, Papyrus demands a visit from tourists both for its impressive array of writing related goods and for its magnificent architecture. Widely considered one of the finest stationery shops in all of the world, Papyrus in Basel is truly a sight to behold. They offer not only basic office supplies and equipment but also hand-crafted top of the line writing implements and specially made paper to meet the most discerning of needs.
As mentioned, the site is worth seeing as well for its astonishing design. The building that houses Papyrus is fashioned after a clear, multi-faceted cube, with each floor of that cube being decorated in a different, ultra-vibrant colour scheme. Goods are easy to find here because they tend to be colour-coded, making the design of the store not only attractive and trendy, but also functional and practical. For those looking to get a little shopping done on their trip to Switzerland, Papyrus is an excellent place to stop and look around for a while.
