Air Travel

Basel uses EuroAirport, one of the world's only binational airports (Geneva is the other). Arriving travelers can exit customs directly to Switzerland or to France. Direct flights link Basel to most major European cities as well as the Middle East, North Africa, and Canada.

Regular bus service runs between EuroAirport and the Bahnhof SBB in the center of Basel. The trip takes about 15 minutes and costs 4.70 SF per person.

One-way taxi fare from the airport to the Basel center is approximately 40 SF; it takes about 15 minutes in light traffic and up to 30 minutes at rush hour. There are normally cabs at the taxi stand, but if you need to call one from the airport, make sure you leave the building on the Swiss side.
