Basel, known for its picturesque landscapes characterized by rolling hills and dense forests, offers an idyllic setting for camping enthusiasts. Here you can enjoy camping close to nature in its purest form at small, family-friendly campsites.

Stroll through historic towns such as Liestal, enjoy the unique view from the Wisenberg Tower and follow in the footsteps of the Romans in Augusta Raurica. Basel combines natural beauty with cultural highlights that offer something for every visitor.

Hiking through the small "Grand Canyon" of the Basel region, the Talweiher nature reserve, cycling along the Rhine or climbing on the Schauenburgerfluh with a view over the Alps - Basel offers a wide range of options for active vacationers.

Basel is famous for its lively traditions and cultural events. The Chienbäse festival in Liestal, a spectacular fire event, attracts many visitors every year. The traditional markets and festivals also offer deep insights into the local culture and way of life.

The months from May to September are the best time to visit Basel. During this time, the landscape is in full bloom and the weather is ideal for camping and all kinds of outdoor activities. In spring, it is worth visiting during the cherry blossom season.

The culinary delights of Basel are varied. Try Basler Geschnetzeltes - where the meat is deglazed with dark beer instead of white wine - and enjoy Basler Leckerli for dessert - these are also ideal as a gift for those at home.
