Serviced Apartments in Basel

Situated on both banks of the River Rhine and sharing her border with France and Germany, Basel, Switzerland’s cultural capital, is the ideal location for a rented serviced apartment or holiday letting. Here you can stay put and explore the two regions of Basel city or go further a field into France’s Alsace region or the Black Forest of Germany.

This city has been cleverly divided into two sections by the Rhine and in Little Basel, Kleinbasel, you will find bars, restaurants and clubs providing plenty of night-time fun, Great Basel, Grossbasel, is where you will find the medieval Old Town, nestled comfortably in the centre.

Take a tour of Basel’s Munster, the cathedral, and admire her beautiful façade where you will see St. George battling the dragon as well as St. Gallus Door, an exquisite piece of craftsmanship depicting intricately carved figures that stand above the lintel. This vast gothic structure, originally built in the 11th century, also houses crypts where Basel’s early bishops have been laid to rest. Climb to the summit of one of her two towers, St. Martin’s tower, for spectacular views over the city with Germany and France as a backdrop.

Basel’s town hall, Rathaus, is also well worth a look. This grand and impressive, red, renaissance structure boasts the most exquisite façade and wonderful arched detailing around the windows. A perfect photo opportunity.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Basel also gives you access to the numerous museums in this city including Kunstmuseum Basel where you can view some wonderful works of art dating from the 19th and 20th centuries as well as some truly beautiful medieval pieces. While you are here make sure you have a good look round the Picasso room. A real treat for anyone with a passion for fine art. The Puppenhaus Museum is home to a vast collection of cuddly teddy bears that is actually the largest collection in the world. Here you will also find beautifully crafted doll’s houses, miniatures from around the world and some adorable carousels. A wonderful for hours for the young at heart.

Hasenburg - Chateau Lapin is a double restaurant just a short distance from your apartment rental or holiday let in Basel. Here you can choose whether you want to eat upstairs in the slightly more sophisticated and expensive Chateau Lapin or downstairs in the simple and rustic Hasenburg. For a traditional Swiss experience Hasenburg would be my choice. Here you can enjoy generous portions of delicious cuisine, excellent service and comfortable, charming décor.
