Hotel Deals in Basel

Basel benefits from a unique location in the northwestern corner of
Switzerland, in what is called the “Dreiländereck”, i.e. the point
where France, Germany, and Switzerland meet. This obviously makes it
a perfect hub for transportation, and especially river boat trips.

With the Rhine flowing through the city, the cruise port terminal attracts
numerous travelers wishing to explore the country and its
European neighbors along the river.

Basel

Book the Best Accommodation

Basel is pretty much divided into two main areas, separated by the Rhine, which are Grossbasel (or Great Basel), the historic medieval town on the south bank, and Kleinbasel (or Little Basel), situated north of the river, and where the nightlife action happens.

Knowing that both areas are easily accessible from the cruise port terminal, the SBB train station, and the Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport, you can choose among hotels based on your budget, available deals, and personal preference. Also, keep in mind that the bus and tram network is excellent, as could be expected from public transport in Switzerland. This means you will be able to travel between the port terminal and the wide majority of hotels quickly and easily.
