Car Hire in Basel, Switzerland

Drive Basel with a Hire Car from Auto Europe

Basel, in the north of Switzerland on the river Rhine, combines charm and familiarity of a small town with variety and choices usually found in a big city. It is well known as a cultural city with a great choice of museums, galleries and theatres. The old town has an old feel with bell towers and cobbled streets that have existed unchanged since the 1600s. Enjoy the atmosphere at Munsterplatz main square, famous for its pleasing architectural ensembles and cultural places such as Munster, a Romanesque Cathedral with important late-Gothic sculptures or enjoy beautiful views of the Rhine. Visit the famous Historical Museum, which contains collections of typical Swiss tapestries and documentation of Basel's historical buildings. Admire the Town Hall built from 1504 to 1514, which displays an attractive red facade of Gothic Renaissance styles. For kids, visit the Doll House museum, which contains more than 200 teddy bears, miniature furnishings and other toys from the 18 and 19th centuries. Experience the ancient masked carnival, which takes place between February and March and includes a magical street parade and spectacular bonfire. Basel is near the borders of France and Germany, which make it an excellent base for day trips by car into these countries. For example, explore the Vosges region in France with its mountain range and vineyards throughout the fertile terrains of the Rhine or discover the famous Black Forest in Germany formed by a large hilly area with tall pines and dashed with small villages. With so much to discover a hire car will make your trip memorable!
