The Rhine

The Rhine is of pivotal importance to Basel. In centuries past, it above all represented a link between Basel and the North Sea. And this connection by waterway is still of significance today. Basel serves as a central hub within Europe. The Rhine Port in the tri-border region where France, Germany and Switzerland meet is a junction for the distribution of raw materials throughout the continent.
But the Rhine’s significance for Basel stretches far beyond cargo transportation. It has put its stamp on the appearance and day-to-day life of the city, offering a refreshing place to bathe and popular recreation area in summer. Cruises can be taken on the Rhine, and a regular boat service runs mainly from spring to autumn. A tour of the port is a particularly interesting highlight of any Basel visit. Sightseeing tours of the city from the water also come highly recommended.
