Public restrooms in Basel

Nette Toilette

You're sure to know the feeling: you're strolling through town when you suddenly need a toilet – and there's not a single public convenience to be found. But worry no more: in future, you'll be able to just walk into a catering outlet and use the WC without having to buy any food or drink. With this new offering, Basel's cafés, shops and restaurants are breaking away from old traditions. 

Thanks to an initiative launched by the City of Basel and Basel Tourism to give our guests free and convenient access to toilets in their vicinity, you'll be able to use the facilities of any Basel café, restaurant or shop displaying the “Nette Toilette” sign at the entrance.

The free app is easy to use: once you have allowed your device to access your current location, a single click will show you where there is a “Nette Toilette” nearby.
