Well that depends on where you’re planning to go. Downtown Basel, about 4 miles from Basel (BSL-EuroAirport), can be difficult to drive in. Make things easy for yourself by choosing something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. Bear in mind that Basel is a popular base to explore many of the glaciers around Basel-Landschaft. If your trip is more about clocking up those miles, then you may like something with a little more trunk space and room to move around. How about a full-size car or a standard SUV?
