The tours take you to the big museums and across the most beautiful squares. Along the way, you will get to enjoy fascinating views from Basel’s hills, as well as interesting insights into the city’s history.  

All of the circular tours start and finish on the Marktplatz (corner of Freie Strasse). Every route bears the name of a famous son of Basel and is marked with its own colour and number.

Choose one of the five tours and follow the signposts through the city.
