Pickup: Your driver collects you from your hotel, apartment, or any address in Basel at the time you specify. No need to drag luggage to a train station or navigate public transport.

The Route: Your driver crosses from Basel into France — one of Europe's most unique border crossings, where three countries (Switzerland, France, Germany) meet at the Rhine. The route follows the A35 autoroute north through the Alsace wine region, with the Vosges mountains on the left and the Rhine plain on the right, arriving in Strasbourg — the European Parliament city.

Strasbourg: What Awaits You

Strasbourg is the seat of the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, and the European Court of Human Rights — giving this Rhine-side city genuine geopolitical significance. The Grande Île — the historic city centre encircled by the River Ill — is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring the towering Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame (completed 1439, once the world's tallest building) and the half-timbered Petite France quarter. Alsatian cuisine blends French refinement with Germanic heartiness — flammekueche, choucroute garnie, and Kugelhopf are local staples, paired with renowned Alsatian Rieslings and Gewürztraminers.
