Ferry ride
Crossing the Rhine on one of the four ferries is an absolute must. Summon the ferryman with the bell at the landing stage, board the ferry and unwind, just like the people of Basel have done for over 150 years.

A visit to the Kunstmuseum Basel
It can rightly be claimed that the Kunstmuseum Basel is a famous attraction, as it is often listed among the best museums in the world. So when in Basel you should definitely see for yourself why this is so.

Lunch at the Kunsthalle restaurant
There is probably no restaurant in Basel that is more typical of the city. For an informal get-together the locals meet in the "brown part" or in the spacious garden under the chestnut trees. If they have something to celebrate they eat in the more elegant "white part" of the restaurant.
