Basel's old town is charming, with buildings dating back to the 1200s and 1300s. You can imagine what it must have been like, with the small streets laid out in a zigzag. not a grid at all! My two fa…Full review by baselerati61

Basel old town is like something out of an historical reference book. The wide sidewalks and the buildings with their historical information posted made for great exploring.Full review by VancouverVal64

Hi Paula, yes, wear good shoes for a good walk around the south part of Basel, start in the city centre, where shops are like Louis Vuitton, nearby is a great church where Erasmus is buried, this is so beautiful from both outside and inside, walk behind this church for a view over the river Rhine, get a drink at the oldest hotel Grand Hotel les Trois Rois watching over the river. Go for a typical cookie called Laekerli, these are so nice! And look for the Rathaus. Enjoy your short stay, it's a wonderful walk and will take about 1,5 hour.
Hi. I can't see that there is a ticket price for this tour? How does this work? We have no plans for Basel yet. Our river boat winds up in Basel on June 2. We plan on spending the 2nd and 3rd there in Basel.Thank you for your help. Laurie

I will be in Basel for 1.5 days and plan to mainly walk around. What is the cost for taking a tram? Can I get by with Euros or do I need to have Swiss francs?

Euros are fine most places in Switzerland including Basel. The fare depends on the distance you travel starts at just over 2€ or SFR. You might consider a day ticket. Fares paid at machines at stops, not always a fare box in the tram. Fare calculated from starting point to your end point. If buy single ticket or multifare ticket, must validate at stop or as soon as get on tram. There are spot fare inspectors - fined on the spot & it's very expensive. Board through any door.
