Tour

city and port cruise

We are excited to embark on a journey of discovery with you. Hop on board at the Schifflände Basel and enjoy a little break with us on the Rhine.

We take a 75-minute round trip through the city or city and port cruise. On the city tour, you will discover historical buildings such as the old university, the cathedral, or the Albantal on the Grossbasel side. In Kleinbasel, the Roche towers or the Tinguely Museum catch the eye.

On the city and port cruise, past the barracks, the Novartis Campus, with views of France and Germany, we enter the port basin 1. Cranes load goods onto the freighters, and to the right, the scrap metal of the city piles up.

Let your soul dangle, stretch your face into the sun, and sip a refreshing drink. Lean back, relax, and enjoy - spending time on the Rhine is good for the soul - promised.
