Escape everyday life and experience the magic of the Alsatian Christmas markets conveniently by bus from Basel. On four selected weekend days, a tour bus will take you on a journey to two of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Alsace. The excursion first takes you to Ribeauvillé, a picturesque town that exudes a special atmosphere with its festively decorated streets. Here, a medieval Christmas market awaits you with games and activities for children, local and sustainable products from the region, handicrafts, Christmas decorations, and medieval delicacies. Afterwards, the tour will continue to the enchanting Christmas market in Colmar. By now it is already dark, and a sea of atmospheric lights awaits you. The Christmas market in Colmar is known for its diversity—from handicrafts to culinary specialities to unique gifts. Here, you can stroll to your heart’s content and enjoy the magic of the festive season. This excursion to the Alsatian Christmas markets promises to put you in a festive mood.
It is recommended to wear weather-appropriate clothing and to bring some cash (Euros are the currency in France). And since this trip crosses the border, you must present a valid ID or passport at the start. This trip is suitable for children (strollers can be transported in the stowage compartment) but dogs are not allowed.
Cost of the full-day excursion is CHF 59. Meeting point is at the bus stop opposite the Tinguely fountain (Steinenberg 4, 4051, Basel) at noon, with the return scheduled at the same location for 21:15.
