Basel EuroAirport transfers, all three sides.

One airport, two countries, two exits

EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg physically sits on French soil but has a customs-separated Swiss sector connected by a dedicated road. Which exit you use determines which country you are standing in — and it is entirely possible to leave through the wrong one and find yourself in France when your hotel is in Basel.

It matters for a transfer because the two sides have different access roads and different pickup points. We check your flight and your onward destination when you book, and your driver meets you in the correct hall with a name board. If you do come out on the wrong side, call the driver — the number is in your confirmation, and it is a fixable ten-minute problem rather than a crisis.

Where people go from Basel

Basel is the natural gateway to north-western Switzerland and to a surprising amount of Germany and France:

• Basel city — about 15 minutes to the centre and the pharma campuses
• Zürich — about an hour on the A3
• Lucerne and the Bernese Oberland — around 1 h 15 to 2 h
• Freiburg and the Black Forest — about 45 minutes into Germany
• Colmar, Strasbourg and Alsace — under an hour into France
• Any Swiss ski resort, as a quieter alternative to Zurich or Geneva

Business travel and the pharma corridor

Basel is a life-sciences city, and a large share of the work we do here is corporate: arrivals for the campuses at Allschwil and the Rhine, congress transport, and cross-border trips to sites in Germany and France that would otherwise need three separate taxis and a lot of explaining. One vehicle, one driver, three countries, one invoice.
