Mother’s Day Brunch

Start the day together with an extensive brunch. Whether Italian with cappuccino and granola, regional with homemade Birchermüesli and Zopf from the bakery or hearty with Rösti and fried egg - in Basel you will find first-class brunch offers, from classic to unusual.

Spring walk

The perfect activity after the Mother’s Day brunch is a long walk through one or more of Basel’s gardens and parks. We particularly recommend the Merian Gardens: spacious, idyllic and just now they enchant you with their variety of plants in full spring bloom. Simply dive away from the urban bustle and do something good for yourself and your mother.

Mother’s Day lunch

You don't want to give away flowers or chocolates on Mother’s Day again? Why don't you take your mother out to a restaurant? Many restaurants in the city and the region offer special lunch menus.

A toast to your mother!

A nightcap in one of the countless bars in Basel is the perfect opportunity to round off the evening after dinner. Toast with your mother to many other beautiful years, with a drink or cocktail, in Grossbasel or Kleinbasel, in an elegant or hip ambience.
