Basel : a slow tourism weekend with a low carbon footprint

Basel can be discovered in slow tourism mode: train, tram, walks along the Rhine and local flavors for a relaxing and sustainable weekend.

Walk along a river with trees, bicycles, a lamppost, and a Ferris wheel in the background.

Want a cultural and relaxing getaway, without plane or car?

Head to Basel, the Swiss city where Art, the Rhine and the good life combine perfectly with a slow tourism approach.

Here’s how to enjoy a sustainable and inspiring weekend:

1. Come without stress: the train comes first.

From Paris, the TGV connects Basel in just 3h30.

From Strasbourg, Dijon or Lyon, several direct connections also exist.

You arrive in the city center, a stone's throw from the trams and the first walks. Zero stress, zero traffic jams, and a minimal carbon footprint.

2. Travel smart and eco-friendly:

In Basel, forget the car. The tram and bus network is ultra-efficient, and free for travelers staying at the hotel thanks to the BaselCard. You can also rent self-service bicycles to enjoy the ride along the Rhine. For the more courageous, you can even cross in a traditional boat pulled by the current.

3. Take the time to discover: In slow tourism mode, you can savor without running the old town and its cobbled streets, its art museums, and the banks of the Rhine where you can take the opportunity to have a coffee on the terrace.

4. Eat local and seasonal: When it comes to food, Basel is full of sustainable options. The Marktplatz market, to taste fruits, cheeses and regional specialties. Committed restaurants like Klara (local and sustainable street food from around the world) or Volta Bräu (craft beer and home cooking).

5. Sleeping slowly is possible in Basel: Our hotels in the Diana Hotels Collection group, Hôtel D Basel and The Passage, have received the Swisstainable label, which rewards hotels committed to sustainable management.

So don’t hesitate any longer and come and enjoy the beautiful city of Basel for a weekend!
