As an important transport route for commerce the Rhine has contributed a great deal to the development of the city. Today, it constitutes a large part of the quality of living that Basel offers its inhabitants and visitors.

And the hustle and bustle is not just at but also on the Rhine. At the Three Countries’ Corner you can enjoy a fantastic view of the river and observe the hectic comings and goings at Basel’s Rhine Port.

Dozens of Rhine-ships battle with the current every day, and are sure to have your full attention when they pass within a hair’s breadth of the bridge columns.
