Christmas Basel
City Trip Ideas
Advent magic in Basel, Switzerland's most traditional Christmas city. Experience the Basel Christmas season in the equally traditional and exclusive 4-star Hotel Euler. Treat yourself to a cosy Basel Christmas break with fairy lights, gingerbread, mulled wine and a romantic time for two. Experience the cold season far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life at the traditional Hotel Euler and celebrate Christmas or the turn of the year with us in Basel City. Sleep in modern and comfortably furnished rooms or in our spacious suites. Enjoy an aperitif cocktail in the Euler Bar followed by a romantic dinner in the Caspar's Restaurant.
Hotel Euler Basel is in a perfectly central location. Right in the centre of the city of Basel - next to the SBB railway station - yet very quiet. From Hotel Euler it is only a few minutes on foot or with the romantic Basler (Wiehnachts)-Drämmli to the Advent markets in Basel's historic old town. Basel Christmas on Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz is considered one of the most beautiful in Switzerland. Winner of the ‘Best Christmas Market 2021’ award.

Münsterplatz
A truly magical place. The Münsterplatz square in front of the time-honoured cathedral awaits visitors with a sea of lights. A Christmas tree splendidly decorated by Johann Wanner bathes the historic cathedral in a romantic light. Market stalls under the trees decorated with glowing snow globes offer genuine Basel specialities.
Barfüsserplatz
Around the Barfüsser Church and on Barfüsserplatz, small, rustic wooden chalets invite you to take a Christmas stroll. The offer ranges from Kulpa Christmas baubles to Feuerzangenbowle, mulled wine, waffles, Änis Paradies and Swiss raclette.
Basler Pfalz
Take a detour to the Basler Pfalz. Situated high above the Rhine, the terrace behind the cathedral offers a fantastic view of the Rhine and the city's glittering sea of Advent lights while enjoying mulled wine.
