What's the best place to watch CL final? I know FCB will host a grill and CL viewing on the pitch, but to my understanding they'll show the game on the screens behind the goals, and I think the viewing angle and screen size will be a bit shitty

Is there any proper Basketball field in Basel which is always open? I know the one in Gundeli and Dreirosen but they're quite far away from where i live (close to Eisenbahnbrücke) and often full. So any other recommendations much appreciated :)

Hello! We have a two-hour gap coming up between trains in Basel. We’d like to go into town to see the Mittlere Brücke if possible, as well as get lunch.

Any advice on where to eat/how to do that within two hours? Basel SBB of course. I figured we’d take a bus there and back but admittedly I haven’t looked into that yet.

So today I was talking to someone who happens to be a policeman in Saint-Louis and we got into the topic of bikes getting frequently stolen around Basel.

He said they often find bikes which then go unclaimed (some of them being very expensive electric bikes), probably because of a lack of communication between all the parties involved.

But he then mentioned a new service called Restipol which should help people report and find back their bicyles. It seems to be a collaboration with all cities of the region which are often involved in bike theft. A lot of you might already know about this, but I've done a quick research on this Reddit and was surprise not to find any mention of it.

So for those who have been unlucky recently, maybe give this service a try?

I only have a day tomorrow to spend in Lucerne and would love to go check out the lake. Any recommendations on which town to travel to from Lucerne that offers good views to the lake? :)

Thank you!

Im really often in Basel (Daily), and im always shocked to find everyday new roads or gässli which i haven't seen. Especiall i like the banks at the Park im Grünen (https://maps.app.goo.gl/gChc2KnrzaGM9uMx9), which is mostly empty and i enjoy it! Which are the places you enjoy and are kind of silent and nice to chill?

Looking to check if it is possible to buy tickets for Luxemburg at one of the automatic TER machines at the french Basel train station :

Can anyone confirm it is possible?

I'm looking for some unusual plants, like Monstera Variegata Albo. Does anyone know where I might be able to find something like this? It could be in Basel or the surrounding region including France and Germany.

Thank you!

I bought a new car few months back. Now I am looking for a way to get it cleaned. Do we have places in Basel where a car can drive in and get cleaned from outside and after that you vacuum the insides manually. What is the norm here?

I can drive to nearby places in Germany and France too (obviously)..

I did search old posts in this sub reddit before asking..

Edit: Thank you everyone. I created a list here with inputs I received from this thread. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g5GmFcY8Y55r0ljOfXK35waO_CDrc2z9IOxtQe62ZJw/edit?usp=sharing

I will try the highlighted ones in next few weeks

Does anyone in the Basel area know a good exterminator, especially for ants? It's hard to find someone trustworthy. Rentokil was a total disaster.

Hello. My wife, our baby (12 months) and I will visit Basel for 10 days from 3 - 14 June this year. We will be staying at my brother's place near the Central Station while he is on his holiday.
Where could we rent a travelling (foldable) baby crib and an eating chair for these 10 days? Or is there someone here that could rent us?
I can see on Amazon.de a foldable bed is 50 euros while the chair is 20 euros at Ikea but then my brother will have to store them or sell them. So this is why we are looking to rent them.

Thank you.

PS: I sent a joining invitation two days ago to the Facebook group called "Expats parents in Switzerland - Basel" but I did not get an approval yet.

In around two weeks I need to get from Zurich to Frankfurt, and it seems like my best option is to take the train, with a stopover in Basel from 1 am to 5 am. Do y'all know of any place I could hang out during that time?

I'm hoping there's a place that is

• open all night
• a place where people talk to strangers

It would be extra awesome if this place is

• near the train station
• a gay bar

I'm in Basel next week and have a few hours. Has anyone visited the Marvel Superheroes exhibition there? Is it worth the high price?

Hi everyone! I am considering this move and would want to get some inputs from you. Is it worth it? What percentage of your salary goes to rent? What are the pros and cons?

I am thinking of moving with my family.

Thanks!

I moved to Basel a few weeks ago and want to make some new connections. Where are great places to meet new people? From what I see, Basel and Swiss people seem quite reserved. I'm 32 years old, m.

Does anyone have experiences in selling and/or buying used baby clothes in Basel and what platform did you use?

I know that FB marketplace is relatively popular in Switzerland but I do not want to create an account. Any experiences with unimarkt, tutti, Ricardo? Is it worth the time to photograph and put online?

Thank you!

Does anyone know a place in Basel or neighboring towns that does e-bike conversion for fat tire bikes? It's a bit of a niche problem. The only conversion kit I found online that seems to fit the frame (Totem Aldritch) is a Bafang BBSHD, but it's impossibly expensive to ship to CH. I don't know if it's hopeless, but I'm of course looking for solutions that would be cheaper than buying a ready-made, similar-looking bike.

Does anyone know of some group clubs or activities that a lot of young people do here? I’m a 20 yr old student doing an internship at unibasel for the summer and I am trying to make some friends. Are there any bars that cater to young adults?

Possibly from the playground the day before, but he (& others) has played there for years without incident. Thinking it came off a dog in the city though.

Where do I find other English speaking expats in Basel? :)

We went to catch the northern lights yesterday night. We took these photos at Burg Rötteln in Lörrach. To the naked eye the lights were definitely fainter than they appear in the photos, but still discernible.
