Rhine ferries
Overview
Intro
What would Basel be without the Rhine? Four passenger ferries cross the river from one bank to the other, using nothing but a steel cable and the current of the water. The ferrymen’s tradition of telling yarns during the journey has continued to this day.
The four ferries “Wilde Maa”, “Leu”, “Vogel Gryff” and “Ueli” operate between the five Rhine bridges in Basel, connecting Grossbasel with Kleinbasel. These public transport options let you cross the Rhine without an engine, using only the force of the river’s current. The Rhine ferries are not only a contemplative pleasure for tourists, but also a pleasant and convenient means of transport for locals and commuters.
In high summer, the river is also the perfect place to take a dip. The Basler Personenschifffahrt boat trip company also offers city and harbour tours, as well as a trip from Basel up the Rhine to Rheinfelden.
The ferries can be hired outside of the operating hours for drinks receptions or a cosy fondue party. Reservations can be made online on the website of the relevant ferry company.
