Be your own guide, enjoy impressive views of Basel and gain fascinating insights into the city’s past.

One special advantage of Basel is that the pathways through the city centre are relatively short. The best way to explore is by taking one of our five walking tours, which have all been named after prominent people in Basel’s history. Each tour in the “Five walking tours through Basel” brochure shows you the city and offers a different perspective of its development. The routes take you past the major museums and the prettiest spots.
