Arrival at EuroAirport Swiss (BSL) marks the beginning of your journey to Basel, Mulhouse or Freiburg. You can reach the city in several ways, each with its advantages and disadvantages in terms of price, time and comfort. This information will help you choose the optimal option, considering your needs and budget.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exits from the terminals. Follow the appropriate signs.

The cost depends on the distance and time of day, and can range from 40 to 80 euros to the center of Basel, Mulhouse or Freiburg. During peak hours or due to traffic jams, travel time may increase.
A private transfer is a convenient, but more expensive option. Usually, after booking, you will be informed of the meeting point (often near the exit from the arrivals area). It is important to confirm all details in advance: the driver's name, phone number and car make. The price is fixed at the time of booking, which allows you to avoid surprises. The expected cost is from 60 to 120 euros, depending on the type of car and distance.
Shared shuttles are an economical option, especially if you are traveling alone or in pairs. However, they may be slower as the driver waits for enough passengers to board and makes stops at different hotels. The cost varies from 20 to 40 euros per person. This option is suitable if you are not in a hurry and want to save money.
