Day trips from Basel

Basel sits at the three-country corner: Lucerne, Alsace, the Black Forest, Bern - all within an hour. The day trips are absurdly good.

Photos for Basel are still on their way. Every listing below is real.

Switzerland

Lucerne

~1 hr train

The Chapel Bridge, the lake, the mountain railways. The Swiss postcard, an hour away.

Augusta Raurica

~20 min

The Roman city: the theatre, the museum, the best-preserved Roman site north of the Alps.

Across the borders

Colmar & the Route des Vins

~1 hr

The Alsace wine villages: half-timbered, the rieslings, the storks. The French contrast.

Black Forest

~1 hr

Titisee's lake, the cuckoo clocks, the cake. The German contrast.
