FAQs about hotels in Basel

Switzerland Through the Ages

At the meeting point of Switzerland, Germany and France, Basel is an eclectic mix of historic and modern, tranquil and vibrant, with Swiss cleanliness and efficiency thrown in for good measure.

Augusta Raurica, on the outskirts, has a well-preserved Roman theater, while the Old Town is a museum of medieval buildings. The Renaissance Town Hall looks down on Marktplatz’s daily market, while the red sandstone and colorful tiles of the Münster were reconstructed in the 19th century. Bringing it right up to date are the modern creations of city residents Herzog & De Meuron, designers of London’s Tate Modern.

When you’ve finished exploring this architectural heritage, there are still plenty of things to do in Basel. The city’s fine art museum is the world’s oldest art collection, and the zoo is the oldest and largest in Switzerland. Remember to bring plenty of Swiss francs for the shopping mile along Clarastrasse and Freiestrasse.

The Basel accommodations on Booking.com range from hotels in Grossbasel to B&Bs in Kleinbasel, home to the nightlife. If you’re flying into Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport in February or March, you might just catch Fasnacht, Switzerland’s biggest carnival. You’ll have to get up early to catch the 4 am start, though!

    The old city has plenty to see and do and with the visitor’s tram pass you can also take a ride out into the countryside. I found some great places to eat- tit-bits by the back of the railway station is good value and a choice of GF options. A wealth of museums made the whole stay a pleasure, Art Basel an Annual event and Beyeler in Riehen, and Kunstmuseum by Wettsteinbruecke both worth a mention.

    Basel is a beautiful city.

    Basel is a beautiful city. If you're an Art lover like me, then visit Basel! It has interesting museums to visit. Take a walk along the riverside, and for just CHF 2, make sure to cross the river using the cable-powered boat. Also, make sure to visit the old town to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic view!

    Great lively city, it was summer so everyone was outside and there was a great buzz at the river where people were swimming and music was playing. Compared to Geneva this city is so much more vibrant!

    The tram system in Basel is extensive and impressive.

    The tram system in Basel is extensive and impressive. You can get anywhere in the city within minutes. Basel Old Town is beautiful and not to be missed; many buildings in continuous use date back to the 1300s. And look for the cute little ferry across the Rhine that uses the river current for its power; worth the 2₣ fare.

    A great city with plenty to see and do all within walking distance. The Basel Pass, issued when checking in at the hotel, provides free travel on the excellent public transport system as well as discounts at many museums and attractions in the city and surrounding area. Basel's location on the borders with France and Germany means it is easy to visit the Alsace region and the Black Forest and the Swiss Alps and lake are easily reached by train or car.

    On the bright side: 1. The location on a 5-minute walking distance from the main train station, it's convenient. 2. Also you have access to 2 or 3 pretty big grocery stores located in and around the station. 3. It was pretty easy to get access to the hotel and the room — they send you the code which you use everywhere in the building. 4. The hotel provides you with some cooking utilities, so you can save some money and cook for yourself (Switzerland is EXPENSIVE). 5. The furniture looks nice, the original designer had a taste.
