Tour on the vintage tram
Veranstaltungsdetails
Want to see for yourself what it was like to travel around Basel a century ago? A nostalgic round trip on board the vintage tram takes you back to the year dot - with authentic sounds of yesteryear, a bumpy ride, and a top speed of 30 km/h. The motorized front carriage from the 1920s has 16 seats, with a tour guide providing live commentary in German and English. All passengers in this carriage receive a sanitized headset.
If you'd rather do without the audio commentary and feel the summer wind in your hair, take a seat in the open-top summer carriage behind; built in 1905/1906, it has space for 18 people and is particularly suitable for families. In bad weather, the open-top summer carriage is replaced by a closed carriage. The vintage tram tours Basel every Sunday from April 27 to, October 12 departing from the Swiss SBB railway station. There will be no trips on the following dates: 11 May 2025, 18 May 2025, 13 July 2025, 27 July 2025.
