Basel | Boat trips on the Rhine

Whether you’re travelling alone, with your family or in a group, a boat trip along the Rhine will reveal plenty of highlights around Basel, such as the Cathedral (Münster), the Roche Tower and the picturesque old town houses on the banks of the Rhine.

Are there boat trips on the Rhine?

Basler Personenschifffahrt operates several trips along the Rhine. 50% discount with the BaselCard. Tickets are available from BPG at Schifflände, on the boat, at the Tourist Information and online.

City and harbour tours, business, club and family events with catering are offered by the Rhytaxi.

How do I take a trip on the ferries?

Between Basel's five bridges, the four ferries “Wilde Maa”, “Leu”, “Vogel Gryff” and “Ueli” take you across the Rhine using only the power of the current – no engines. The journey costs CHF 1.60 per person, CHF 1.20 for children 12 years and older and CHF 0.60 for children under 12.
