Swiss Auto-Route Tax Tip: If you are driving to Basel from France, you can avoid the Swiss Auto-route tax by telling the border agents that you are staying in Basel, and they will allow you to take the first exit after the border to enter the city, avoiding the Swiss auto-route tax. When you check-in, you will also receive a complimentary Basel Mobility Ticket, which gives you free access to public transport in the city of Basel and the surrounding area – a very handy and thoughtful touch.
The hotel is ideally located to visit many of the area’s finest attractions, including numerous museums, architectural must-sees like the Basler Münster, Münsterplatz, and Basel’s Town Hall; the Basel Zoo, theatre, and concert hall, and the city plays host to many fairs throughout the year too.
