Basel river cruises, Switzerland

What's great about Basel river cruises?

The cosmopolitan city of Basel’s settled in the north-west corner of Switzerland, very close to the borders of France and Germany. The Medieval old town’s a must-visit, thanks to its social market square. It’s dominated by a 16th-century, red-brick town hall and is the setting for a farmers’ market on weekends. Nearby, you’ll find Basel’s 12th-century Gothic cathedral. It rises majestically above the Rhine, has far-reaching city views, and contains the tomb of the 16th-century Dutch scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam. Around a 10-minute walk from here is Steinenvorstadt. Affectionately known as cinema road, this street is where you’ll find all of Basel’s cinemas. It’s also a great place to grab a drink or an ice-cream and watch the world go by.
