Basel on foot

Orientation points with city maps are located at Basel SBB Railway Station, the Badischer Bahnhof station, the market square (Marktplatz), the trade fair centre (Messeplatz), Münsterplatz, Aeschenplatz, Schifflände, and at the zoo.

Five signposted tours of the Old Town begin at the market square (Marktplatz). Each of the tours is named after a world-famous citizen of Basel, and following the signposted tours is a popular way of strolling through the city. These routes are also marked in blue.
