The Co-op and Migros at the train station are the only shops open here on Sundays. Unless you really need food don't bother as they are significantly more expensive than their other branches in the city centre.

Basel Cinemas

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

matjung 88 reviews

The cinema experience in Basel is just awful compared with Dublin or London.

Unique Suggestions: Watch out for a movie where the broadcast is original.

Fun Alternatives: go to a local pub, drink a local beer and chat with your friends.

Honestly, Basel is at the top of my list of favorite places.
It is open and friendly, and really clean! I love clean air, clean streets and privacy,so I love BASEL!
