Know more about your day trip
Mulhouse offers a fascinating cross-border experience, just 30 minutes from Basel, showcasing French culture, cuisine, and architecture. The city is renowned for its exceptional museums, particularly the National Automobile Museum (the largest in the world) and the Museum of Printed Textiles, reflecting its industrial heritage. Add charming historic squares, colorful buildings, excellent dining, and shopping, and Mulhouse provides a perfect French day trip from Switzerland.
The drive from Basel to Mulhouse takes approximately 30 minutes, covering about 35 kilometers. This short cross-border journey makes it one of the most accessible international day trips from Basel, allowing visitors to experience a distinctly French atmosphere with minimal travel time.
Mulhouse is famous for its world-class museums, particularly the Cité de l'Automobile (National Automobile Museum), housing the Schlumpf Collection with over 400 classic cars, including 120 Bugattis. The Cité du Train (European Railway Museum) is the largest railway museum in Europe, while the Museum of Printed Textiles showcases the city's textile manufacturing history with over 6 million samples dating back to the 1760s.
Explore Place de la Réunion, the main square featuring the striking 16th-century Hôtel de Ville (town hall) with its trompe l'oeil painted facade. Nearby, discover Temple Saint-Étienne, the city's Protestant church, numerous Renaissance buildings with colorful facades, the Canal du Rhône au Rhin with its pleasant walking paths, and the vibrant shopping streets radiating from the central square.
Mulhouse offers excellent shopping opportunities from the pedestrianized historic center, with its boutiques and specialty shops to the large Porte Jeune shopping mall. The city is known for textile products, locally made crafts, and French specialties. Don't miss the covered market for local products and the seasonal markets, particularly the famous Christmas market in December.
Mulhouse offers authentic Alsatian cuisine, which blends French and German influences. Try local specialties like choucroute (sauerkraut with various meats), tarte flambée (a thin pizza-like dish), baeckeoffe (a meat and vegetable stew), and kougelhopf (a sweet bread). The city's restaurants range from traditional winstubs (Alsatian taverns) to modern bistros, with many offering outdoor seating in warmer months.
Remember to bring your passport as you'll be crossing the border from Switzerland to France. Both countries use different currencies (Swiss Franc and Euro), so have some euros on hand, though credit cards are widely accepted. Your Daytrip driver will handle the border crossing logistics, ensuring a smooth international journey.
Absolutely. In 3 hours, you can explore the historic center, enjoy lunch, and visit one major museum. With a full day (6+ hours), you can visit multiple museums, explore the city more thoroughly, and enjoy a leisurely meal. The compact nature of Mulhouse makes it easy to see many attractions in a single day without feeling rushed.
