Hi,

What do you usually do on your weekends in Basel?

Are there any places to visit, any activities, any events or festivals regularly organized you would like to recommend?

What are your top tips for the weekend in Basel?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience, ;)

Dear Christine

If you are interested in history and/or archaeology then you should visit the remains of the roman city Augusta Raurica.

It is spread over the area of the villages Augst & Kaiseraugst, ~11km east of Basel. You can get there by train (Kaiseraugst) or by bus (lines 81 & 83).  Check out augustaraurica.CH.

Apart from the museum where you will see the famous silver treasure, all places are free to visit.

Plan the whole day to see everything.

Cheers, Juerg
