Best of Basel: Guided Bike Tour｜Switzerland

Start your guided bike tour at the historic St. Johanns-Tor (St. John's Gate). From there, the route leads to the Dreirosenbrücke (Three Roses Bridge), which offers a magnificent view over the city on the Rhine – a view that even extends as far as Germany and France. It's the perfect moment to appreciate Basel's unique location!
The tour then continues to the Kleinbasel side of the city, where you will cycle upstream along the Rhine. Along this route, you will learn fascinating facts about Basel and discover both well-known landmarks and hidden gems. Along the way, you'll have plenty of wonderful opportunities to take unforgettable photos.

At the Rhine power plant, you will cross the river again and return to Grossbasel. From there, your route will take you through the upscale St. Alban district to Basel Cathedral. With over 1,000 years of history, the cathedral is a true architectural gem. In front of the majestic cathedral, you will learn more about its architectural history – and, at the same time, enjoy a refreshing drink and two traditional Basel delicacies.

After this refreshment, the next leg of your journey will take you along Basel's shopping street to the Main Market Square, in the heart of the city. There, you will find the magnificent Town Hall, which immediately catches the eye with its red sandstone façade and ornate decorations.

From the Marktplatz, you will return to the riverbank and cycle along the Rhine for one last time. Your tour ends at St. Johanns-Tor, your starting point – a perfect way to finish, allowing you to feel the fresh Rhine breeze once again and soak up the city's unique atmosphere.

The tour covers approximately 7.5 miles and takes about 3 hours. The route is mostly flat and easy to complete – ideal for those who want to discover Basel in an active yet relaxed way.
