Car Hire in Basel

Hiring a car in Basel allows you to explore not just Basel, but also the surrounding regions of Switzerland, Germany, and France. Basel’s unique location in northern Switzerland, bordering both Germany and France, makes it the perfect starting point for an adventurous and flexible road trip through the heart of Europe.

Basel: Cultural capital of Switzerland

Basel is a vibrant city situated on the banks of the Rhine River, known for its mediaeval charm, Gothic architecture, and historic landmarks. Begin your journey in the heart of the city by visiting the 500-year-old Town Hall, with its striking red facade and ornate decorations. The Basel Minster, a stunning cathedral that houses the tomb of the renowned Dutch scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam, is another must-see.

Art enthusiasts will be delighted by the numerous museums Basel has to offer. In fact, you can find close to 40 museums in the city. The Kunstmuseum Basel boasts one of the largest and oldest public museum collections in Europe, featuring works from the early fifteenth century to the present. The Basel Paper Mill, Switzerland’s national museum for paper, typography, and writing, offers an immersive experience into the book-making process, housed within the walls of a mediaeval mill. For a family-friendly outing, the Special Interest Museum showcases a vast array of historic toys, including dolls, dollhouses, teddy bears, carousels, and miniatures from around the globe.

Basel is a good starting point for trips to Germany and France
