Travel and Transportation to Basel

When to visit Basel?

Summer is the most popular season for visiting Switzerland. From June to August, temperatures are mild, averaging between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. The days are long, making it possible to take full advantage of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and water sports on Swiss lakes. However, it is important to note that this is also the most touristy period, which means that attractions can be crowded and prices higher.

Spring and autumn are also good times to visit Switzerland. In April, May and September, temperatures are pleasant, averaging between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. The Alpine landscapes are adorned with flowers in spring and autumn colours in September. It's an ideal time of year for nature lovers and those who prefer to avoid the crowds.
