Description

Switzerland-Tour invites you to explore two neighboring countries on a one-day excursion from Lucerne. You will be greeted by your driver-guide at the reception of your hotel to sit in the luxurious vehicle heading to Basel City.

Basel is situated on the banks of the Rhine River. Basel is known as the cultural capital of Switzerland, which is purely reflected through the forty museums existing here. An interesting fact about Basel - it hosts the world’s premier art exhibition annually called "Art Basel".

The greatest way to get acquainted with Basel’s history is to stroll the streets of its old town. In the central part, the famous Town Hall is located (Rathaus), a red sandstone building with its richly decorated inner courtyard.

Basel Cathedral is one of Basel's main landmarks. The tour includes a breathtaking view of the city from Pfalz, a terrace that overlooks the Rhine. In addition to this, a boat ride on the Rhine River showcasing the beauty of this lovely city is worthwhile.

Here you must try Basler Läckerli, the traditional honey cookies of Basel at "Läckerli Huus".

After the exciting discovery of Basel, it will be time to cross the Swiss border to the neighboring town of Colmar in France.

The colorful town of Colmar will greet you with its well-survived half-timbered buildings from the 15th and 16th centuries and flower-lined canals. This small city represents the lifestyle of the whole Alsace Region.

You will visit the Quai de Poissonniers area known as Petit Venice. Colmar’s Little Venice is where you will witness that picture-perfect row of half-timbered houses dyed in shades of pink, blue and yellow.

Next, you will visit Adolf house, which is considered the oldest one in Colmar. Pfister house dates back to the Middle Ages and the facade paintings display the emperors of the 16th century.

Already at dusk, the originality of the lighting system of Colmar will amaze you. And after the fabulous day trip to Basel and Colmar, you will take a comfortable transfer back to the meeting point in Lucerne.
