Port of Basel, Switzerland | Cruise Port Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
At the river quays, a few minutes from the centre. Basel is the home port for much of the Rhine cruise trade: this is where river ships embark and disembark passengers, at the meeting point of Switzerland, France and Germany.
Yes, entirely. The historic core is a few minutes’ walk away and distances stay short. The green trams fill in the rest with characteristically Swiss punctuality, for anyone saving their legs or heading to a more distant museum.
The sixteenth-century city hall and its blood-red façade of frescoes and gilded turrets. The square fills in the morning with stalls of fruit, flowers and cheese, and the smell of fresh bread from the bakeries nearby. It is the natural starting point for a wander through the cobbled lanes.
A red sandstone silhouette topped with glazed tiles and flanked by two spires, watching over the Rhine since the twelfth century. Inside lies the tomb of Erasmus, the European humanist who lived here. Behind the choir, the Pfalz terrace opens as a balcony above the river.
Basel’s balcony over the Rhine, behind the cathedral: locals lean on the rail to watch the barges go by, and the view carries to the hills of the Black Forest in neighbouring Germany. It is the best free viewpoint of the call.
Small wooden ferries that cross the Rhine without engines, carried by the current alone along a cable strung between the banks. The crossing takes two or three minutes, the cathedral spire on one side, the coloured façades of Kleinbasel on the other. It is the thing not to miss, and it captures the spirit of the city.
The Kunstmuseum, within walking distance of the centre, holds masterpieces from the fourteenth to the twentieth century, from old masters such as Holbein to Cézanne and van Gogh. Modern art lovers continue to the Tinguely Museum on the waterfront, devoted to the Swiss sculptor’s poetic machines — fountains and gears come alive in cheerful racket.
The Marktplatz and the old lanes, the cathedral and the Pfalz terrace, a cable ferry crossing, then a museum to taste — the Kunstmuseum for old masters, the Tinguely for movement. All of it on foot.
Yes, in summer: they let the current carry them, waterproof bag over the shoulder, watched by passengers along the rails. It is a well-established local practice, but it requires knowing the river and its currents — better watched than imitated during a port call.
Considerably. Many passengers see it only as the start or end point of their Rhine cruise. The city has an unusual density of museums for its size, an intact medieval core and one of the oldest Rhine crossings, the Mittlere Brücke. Arriving the day before or leaving the day after changes the value of the trip.
