The Best Place to Shop in Basel, Switzerland

Background Illustration for Shopping

The major downtown shopping district stretches along Freie Strasse, Spalenberg, and Gerbergasse, where you can find many one-of-a-kind boutiques. More reasonably priced shops along Steinenvorstadt cater to a younger crowd.

In addition to champagne truffles, this shop carries a Basel specialty called Läckerli, a chewy cookie made of almonds, honey, dried fruit, and kirsch. There are also branches of Confiserie Bachmann on Blumenrain and Centralbahnplatz.
