Not quite in the middle of Basel, but surrounded by industrial Dreispitz and the sports complex at St Jacob, it is easy to miss this outstanding garden. Garden is probably the wrong word, because it houses numerous gardens, a large number of sculptures, an exhibition centre, a restaurant, several museums, a playground, a river and a farm. The garden also... More

Arguably calling these gardens average is being more than fair to them. My wife is a gardener, and wherever we travel, if the City has a Botanic Garden, we go to it. This one was disappointing: it's collection wasn't particularly broad and its design was pedestrian.

Nice park for a break of hectic city life. Has a botanic garden, free admittance. If you get hungry or just want a coffee, there is a restaurant and a cafe on the pitch. Kids can freely run around and play. Recommendable.

In comparison to other city's botanical gardens, it is tiny but in view of the limited amount of green space that Basel has, it is a welcome change. It is also immaculate and quite lovely with the restaurant there.

To be honest, it wasn't what I was expecting! It was more like a park than a Botanical Garden, but I suppose that I visited at the wrong time of year to appreciate the plants. There were a lot of families visiting, and as it was a sunny day, it was very busy. Easy to get there by tram.

Multiple things to see and do. Crazy golf, restaurant and cafe, pond and ducks. Jump off the tram 10 and walk around the gardens and park.

Originally landscaped for the Green 80 Exhibition, this area on the outskirts of the city – but reached within minutes by bus or tram from the station or the city center, is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon or even a full day. At the northern end, beyond the St. Jacob sports stadium, you’ll find the sports field and... More
