This is a great advantage, as it offers beauty and plans for all tastes. Here, contemporary architectural landmarks coexist with a beautifully preserved old town. Tradition and cosmopolitan charm achieve a perfect match, and a good example of this is how classical contemporary art and urban art interact. Both artistic movements have a prominent representation in Basel.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practical Information<\/h6>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This city is designed to be enjoyed by public transport, on foot, or by bike. Regardless of your choice, getting around is very easy. Trams and buses run efficiently, and if you opt for a bike, you\u2019ll find that Basel has been designed for two-wheeled travel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-75269 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ccmagazinexBasel64.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"995\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ccmagazinexBasel64.png 995w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ccmagazinexBasel64-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ccmagazinexBasel64-282x425.png 282w, https:\/\/ccmagazine.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/ccmagazinexBasel64-768x1158.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 995px) 100vw, 995px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important things you need to know before traveling to Basel are the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Currency:\u00a0<\/strong>We don\u2019t recommend carrying cash, as all places accept cards. The official currency is the Swiss Franc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basel.com\/es\/baselcard\">BaselCard<\/a><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>By booking your hotel in Basel, you will receive this card that allows you to travel on public transport for free and comfortably. It also provides a 50% discount on museums, the zoo, <em>Theater Basel<\/em> (valid only for tickets purchased at the box office), among other cultural and leisure activities. You can also rent electric bikes at <em>Guest Bike<\/em> at the Swiss SBB station for CHF 20 per day. Additionally, there is an app that can be used offline, offering the same services and free discounts. In its electronic format, the personal card also includes an interactive city map.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Note: The BaselCard does not cover the trip to the Vitra Design Museum.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumspass.com\/en\">Museums-PASS<\/a><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0This pass is valid in 345 museums across Switzerland, Germany, and France, and is as convenient as the <em>BaselCard<\/em>.

However, we were pleasantly surprised. Basel has a fairly stable climate. The sun shines approximately 3,500 hours a year, and the average rainfall is only 90 mm per month. Daily temperatures can exceed 35\u00b0C in the summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Flight Duration:<\/strong>\u00a0From Madrid to Basel is 2 hours and 20 minutes, and from Barcelona is 1 hour and 50 minutes. Both are very short flights that allow you to be in this beautiful city in no time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ferries:<\/strong>\u00a0The four Rhine ferries, <em>&#8220;Wild Maa<\/em>&#8220;, <em>&#8220;Leu&#8221;<\/em>, <em>&#8220;Vogel Gryff<\/em><em>&#8220;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;Ueli&#8221;<\/em>, connect Grossbasel with Kleinbasel. They are attached to a long steel cable and are powered solely by the current of the Rhine.
