We're wrapping up our Gate 1 Rhine River cruise in Basel this July and have two extra days to explore. Looking for recommendations on what to do or see in and around Basel. We're open to anything from cultural experiences, scenic spots, to day trips nearby. Any hidden gems or must-visit places you'd suggest? Also, tips on getting around would be super helpful. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Basel is a fantastic city to explore post-cruise! For a mix of culture and scenery, start with the Kunstmuseum Basel for world-class art, then stroll through the Old Town for its charming architecture. Don’t miss the Rhine River promenade for a relaxing walk or a quick swim if the weather’s nice. For a day trip, consider heading to the nearby Black Forest in Germany—it’s just an hour away and perfect for nature lovers. Public transport in Basel is efficient, so getting around is easy with trams and buses. Have you thought about visiting any local markets or trying Swiss cuisine while you’re there?
