City guide
Visiting Basel in August
August brings balmy summer nights by the water, open-air cinema screenings on Münsterplatz, and lively pop-up bars along the riverbanks.
Basel is the proud cultural capital of Switzerland, strategically nestled where the Rhine bends at the tri-national junction where Switzerland, France, and Germany touch. With nearly forty museums within its compact boundaries, the city boasts the highest museum density in the country, anchored by the internationally acclaimed Kunstmuseum Basel and Fondation Beyeler.
- From the airport
- EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (BSL) is located six kilometers northwest of the city on French territory. BVB bus line 50 runs every 7 to 10 minutes from outside the Swiss arrivals sector, reaching Basel SBB central train station in just 15 minutes. Hotel guests travel free on public transit with the BaselCard.
- Getting around
- Basel operates a model public transport network of clean green and yellow trams and buses extending smoothly into neighbouring French and German suburbs. Visitors staying in local accommodations receive the complimentary BaselCard for unlimited transit. A delightful historic transit feature is the four cable ferries (Fähri), gliding silently across the river powered purely by the natural current.
