Calm and serene Basel

Walks and excursions

Famous for its surroundings, which are great for walks, and for its peaceful places to stay, Basel saves some surprises for those who want a break from the commotion of the city to recharge their batteries.
Although the Rhine terraces are calming, a walk to the University’s botanical gardens, which have existed in Basel since 1589, will allow you to explore the orchid paradise and one of the ultimate Victorian greenhouses from the 19th century on foot, just a few cable stops from the Porte de Spalen (Spalen gate).
A supremely regenerative stop, the Ceya Beauty & Wellness Spa will provide you with body and facial treatments to relax you and set you off again in good stead, after enjoying its wellbeing concept. Massages and spas are some of the attractions of this wellbeing institute.
