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 its outskirts houses a well-preserved Roman theatre, 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 colourful 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 accommodation on Booking.com ranges 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 see it start though - 4am!

Basel was a nice surprise.

Basel was a nice surprise. A lot of old world charm, great traditional bakeries and coffee houses. The transportation is super with trams and buses running frequently. It felt large enough without being touristy. The fine arts museum is top notch h with some great artists represented.

A great base to have when exploring Switzerland.

A great base to have when exploring Switzerland. Basel is full of history and has one of the best local history museums I've seen. One could spend the whole day in the Basel Historical Museum. From the Bronze Age to modern times, this place has it. Various restaurants and all types of shopping dot the Old Town area. The transportation system(city trams and trains) is on time and efficient. We explored Zermatt and Lucerne, while keeping a base in Basel. The international airport has easy access from downtown.

Basel is a very nice city and definitely worth visiting.

Basel is a very nice city and definitely worth visiting. Make sure to hire a bike, go along the Rhine and visit 3 countries in just a couple of hours. The Markthalle is a must. However, everything is pricey.

I realised Basel was expensive compared with UK but I found supermarket food and juice was ok especially smoked salmon. Trams and trains very frequent and on time. Early October but dry and blue sky every day. Streets were very clean.

Didn't really know what to expect in Basel but really enjoyed our stay. It is bigger than I expected but the transport network is really efficient and with the Basel card it is free. The place we enjoyed the most was the Zoo - spent all day there - highly recommend it (and it is half price entry with the Basel card). Lots of interesting streets and bars, cafes, restaurants etc..

We started with.dinner at Restaurant Fiorentina on the patio overlooking the river. On the morning went to the visitors center on Steinerberg. Downloaded the self guided tour and we were off. Very easy to see the city on foot and was very comfortable on our own touring.

Attractive looking building beside the river Rhine, however the area surrounding the hotel is quite industrial therefore not as photogenic as I had hoped. We enjoyed our evening meal and the breakfast was good. Good for an overnight stay not sure that is that close to the city centre. Quite expensive compared to other overnight stays we had whilst travelling but I guess Switzerland is?
