Basel - Getting There By Road

Basel is an important European motorway junction with direct road connections to the rest of Switzerland and to France and Germany. The A1 heads southwest to Bern, the A2 leads south to Lucerne, the A3 east to Zurich, the A35 northwest towards Mulhouse in France and the A5 north towards Freiburg in Germany, to mention just some of the motorways connecting with Basel.

Emergency breakdown service: TCS/ACS (tel: 140).

As well as the efficient railways, there is also a network of local and regional routes operated by PostBus (tel: 0848 888 888; www.postbus.ch). Eurolines (tel: 0871 781 8181, in the UK; www.eurolines.com) operates coach services between Basel and other European cities.
