This is Basel

Directly opposite the SBB Basel railway station, the GAIA Hotel is only 10 minutes away from the historic old town. It offers you the perfect starting point for both business appointments and private weekend excursions to Basel.

Enjoy a river cruise on the Rhine, explore the Basel region, Alsace in France or even the Black Forest in Germany from here. How about a day trip to Colmar by train, for example? The SBB train station is right next door and the distances are short.

Basel is the cultural centre in Switzerland. With over 40 museums offering art, culture, history and design, there's something for everyone. Famous architects such as Mario Botta or Herzog & DeMeron have also made their mark in Basel.
