Board in the evening, wake up in Basel. A city where three countries meet, and the Rhine shapes urban life. Basel impresses with world-class art, a unique carnival, and arguably the most relaxed city experience in Switzerland. A city often underestimated as a transit point — and that's precisely what works to its advantage.

Location

Fondation Beyeler in Riehen

One of the world's best private collections of modern art, housed in a Renzo Piano building amidst a park. Less known than the museums in the city center, but vastly superior.

Location

Tri-border area — where three countries meet

At Basel's westernmost tip, Switzerland, Germany, and France meet in close proximity. A short walk takes you to the marked tripoint. Plan time for an aperitif at the Sandoase.

FAQ

How do I get to Basel by night bus?

Twiliner always operates from city center to city center. We use existing bus terminals and always select the most central stop possible, so you arrive directly in the heart of the city without major detours.

How much does a trip to Basel with Twiliner cost?

A trip with Twiliner is available from 160 Euros per way. The exact price depends on the bus's occupancy and the travel time – booking early secures the best fares. So, planning ahead pays off. We sometimes have special promotions for even cheaper tickets – be sure to check out our Special Deals.

How long does the overnight trip to Basel take?

The travel time depends on your departure location. As we pick up passengers from various cities, the exact journey duration varies.
To Basel, we travel from Amsterdam (11 hours), Rotterdam (9 hours), Brussels (7 hours), and Luxembourg (4 hours). You can find all current departure and arrival times directly in our booking tool.

Why take the night bus to Basel instead of flying?

With Twiliner, you travel in your sleep — you save on a hotel stay, avoid airport stress, and arrive refreshed right in the city center. No early mornings, no baggage claim, no transfers. What's more, you travel with up to 91% less CO₂ emissions than by plane — that's equivalent to ten Twiliner trips for the same carbon footprint as a single flight.

What is the best time to visit Basel?

Spring and summer are ideal: In February/March, the world-famous Basel Carnival takes place, and in June, Art Basel. Summer is perfect for a swim in the Rhine — the quintessential Basel experience.
