What things cost in Basel
Prices in Basel spread far wider than any single "from" figure suggests, and 98% of the catalogue can be cancelled free of charge. So the useful question is not what the cheapest ticket costs, but which band buys which kind of day.
That median sits 43% below Switzerland's, so Basel is one of the cheaper places in the country to actually do things.

How far ahead should I book in Basel?
