Holidays in Basel

Snap at your colleague when they ask to borrow a pen? People starting to give you a wide berth? Yep. You need a holiday. And it's about time you took one in Basel!

This area of Northern Switzerland is populated by 160,000 locals.

The nation's capital, Bern, lies 70 kilometres south of Basel, while Huningue can be found 4 kilometres to the north.

Undoubtedly, the Messeturm Basel will be right at the top of your list during your visit.

There's loads of family fun to be had here. From Aquabasilea to Laguna Badeland, the kids definitely won't be disappointed!

Enjoy the amazement and wonder in the kids’ eyes when they meet the interesting animals at the Basel Zoo. The Zoological Garden also offers an educational and interactive experience.

The Feldschloesschen Brewery is the place to go to if downing a cold beer is your favourite way to unwind at the end of a day. Ask about tours or simply sit back and savour their unique styles and flavours.

Even if you're not the betting kind, it's always a thrill to go to a casino. And the Casino Romanix is definitely no exception. Play a hand or two of blackjack or just grab a drink and absorb the glimmering atmosphere.

Strolling around the well-kept gardens and floral displays at the Botanischer Garten der Universitat feels like drifting through a colourful wonderland.

There's no need to venture deep into the forest to take in a bit of greenery. Sankt Johanns-Park and Green Meadow Park are just two of the appealing recreational hubs you'll discover amid this concrete jungle. Also consider spending a little time enjoying the grounds of Merian Park and Eptingen Lookout Point.

Basel offers a multitude of natural reserves, such as Sole Uno and Inseli. Two further areas to check out are Belchen and Reigoldswil - Wasserfallen.

Walk the tranquil halls, study the captivating displays and talk to the accommodating staff. The Music Museum and the Vitra Design Museum are top places to compose yourself and find out something new. Looking for more? Also head to the Swiss Architecture Museum and the Pharmacy Museum Basel.

As every explorer knows, our world is a magical place. Nowhere is this more evident than in the bursting cabinets and displays at the Basel Natural History Museum and the Naturhistorisches Museum.

Art admirers journey from all over to see Basel's spectacular collections, and the Beyeler Foundation and the Schaulager are usually among the first stops on their lists. The Jean Tinguely Museum and the Basel Art Museum are two more stops to put on your radar.

Learn all about the influence that Basel's past figures and events had on the country, and sometimes the world, at the Basel Historical Museum and the Jewish Museum. The Fricktaler Museum and the Dreilandermuseum Loerrach are also worth stopping by for an even deeper insight into days gone by.

Would you like a glimpse into Basel's history? Don't forget to visit Basel Town Hall and the Basel University. If time isn't a problem, Augusta Raurica and The Palantine are two more must-visits.

With its heavy walls and looming turrets, Dorneck Castle is a majestic structure. Admire its exterior or simply close your eyes and imagine it during its glory days.

Whatever your beliefs, Basler Muenster and Munsterplatz are great places to get in touch with your spiritual side. Another option is to see if there are any tours available at Eptingen Church and Diegten Protestant Church.
