Basel, City Tour in a Vintage Streetcar


Basel Tourismus


Discover Basel's highlights from a different perspective and explore the city in a historic vintage streetcar. Learn more about the interesting history of the city and a means of transport from a time long gone by.


Basel



Want to see for yourself what it was like to travel around Basel a century ago? A nostalgic round trip on board the vintage tram takes you back to the year dot – with authentic sounds of yesteryear, a bumpy ride, and a top speed of 30 km/h.

The motorized front carriage from the 1920s has 16 seats, with a tour guide providing live commentary in German. All passengers in this carriage receive a sanitized headset.

If you’d rather do without the audio commentary and feel the summer wind in your hair, take a seat in the open-top summer carriage behind; built in 1905/1906, it has space for 18 people and is particularly suitable for families.

The vintage tram tours Basel every Sunday from June to August, departing from the Swiss SBB railway station.
