Basel

Basel is Switzerland's capital of art — some forty museums in a city you can walk across, from the Kunstmuseum's collection, the oldest public one in the world, to the Beyeler's light-filled galleries. The medieval old town climbs from the river to the red-sandstone Münster, whose terrace looks down on the great bend of the Rhine — where, on warm days, the locals simply get in and float with the current, dry bags in tow. Three countries meet at the city's edge; trams cross borders here. Cultured, composed, and quietly unlike anywhere else on the river.

Where boats dock in Basel

River cruise ships in Basel moor along three stretches: the Grossbasel old-town bank between the Mittlere Brücke and the Johanniterbrücke, the Klybeckquai on the right bank below the Dreirosenbrücke where most lines tie up, and — when the Swiss quays fill — across the border at Huningue Plage on the French bank north of the Dreiländereck. Exact positions vary by sailing and are typically confirmed close to arrival.
