City trip Basel
STEINENSCHANZE Charming City & Garden Hotel as a place of comfort – at any time!
A city trip to Basel is enticing at any time of year: In summer, Basel blooms under an almost Mediterranean climate. Pleasant nights by the Rhine, art and culture in the open air, and the wonderful gastronomy make your Switzerland city trip an unforgettable outing.
In winter, you can experience a variety of scenes during your city trip to Basel, all of which have one thing in common: they harmoniously blend with the beautiful charm of our old town. In the centre of Basel is our cosy STEINENSCHANZE Charming City & Garden Hotel, the starting point for your city trip in Switzerland. Experience our picturesque cityscape and our charming streets while shopping, wintery under a blanket of snow, dreamily foggy in the pale winter sun, or festively illuminated for Advent – Basel in winter always presents itself to its Switzerland city trip visitors with a special charm and a warm atmosphere. Not just during the Christmas season!
The spring also has its special charms for a city trip to Basel. After the snow melts in the Alps, the Rhine carries more water along our shores. The Rhine steamers set sail and invite you to an excursion on the famous river. The vegetation sprouts, and the mild climate in this region allows those hungry for light and sun to fully enjoy their Basel city trip. Basel in autumn – this is primarily the time for trade fairs and museum strolls. The world-famous art fair Art Basel usually takes place in early autumn and speaks for itself. The Basel Autumn Fair is another autumn attraction and is one of the oldest and largest fairs in Switzerland. A city trip is worth it!
