I haven’t been to Basel yet but I’m itching to do so. I love this guide–because you included much more than just what to do as many other guides do. I also really like that you include where exactly Basel is because I think a lot of people might not know. Thanks for sharing this guide!

I have heard of Basle for the first time in my childhood when my Dad went to Basel for a business trip and he fell in love with it. I can remember me as a kid looking at his photos of Basel and thinking about visiting Basel one day. I haven’t visited Basel yet, but your post took me back to my childhood wish. Maybe the time is come to finally fulfill that wish!

I been to Basel before and used the BaselCard. What a great thing to have and saved me money whilst I was there. Love this city, one of my favourites and love the facades on some of the buildings in the centre and doing the riverside walks. 🙂

That winter carnival sounds amazing! I’m a sucker for the beauty of winter, and I love light festivals. I might have to add Basel to my bucket list 🙂

In reply to Melody PIttman. I have visited Basel several years back and missed many of the things listed in this post. I loved the idea of getting a Basel card and also agree with you that Switzerland has well-connected cities by train. Thanks for sharing all tips and information in this useful guide.

I absolutely adore small cities, if I were to re-brand I would probably go with something like “following cobblestones.” I feel like Basel city would be the perfect place for me to discover a gem hidden deep in Switzerland. Thanks for adding this to my radar!

I love reading your write up and the lists so detailed and very helpful for us who never been to Europe yet. Switzerland is in my bucket list and it’s good to know the distance and how this place position between each neighboring country. It makes it easier to do the planning and mapping for each places and country I want to include during our visit.

In reply to Nic. Hi Nic. It sounds like you enjoyed Basel as much as we did! I think being near the trams growing up definitely makes a difference. They're so quiet! Most North American kids would definitely not be used to them. They love riding on them though!
