EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg (BSL)

Getting Around

How to get to and from EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at BSL

EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg is connected to Bâle / Mulhouse and the wider France transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

The terminal splits into a Swiss sector and a French sector, each with its own bus link: Swiss-side Bus 50 runs frequently to Basel SBB train station in about 20 minutes, while French-side DistriBus No. 11 connects to Saint-Louis (France) station in about 10 minutes, with onward options toward Mulhouse and Freiburg (including a Flixbus service from the French exit).

Taxi

Both Swiss-plated and French-plated taxis wait at their respective sector exits — fares and currency (CHF vs EUR) differ depending on which side you leave from.

Rideshare

Uber operates reasonably well on the Swiss side around Basel; coverage is patchier once you're in the French sector, where a licensed French taxi is often more reliable.

Car Rental

Major international rental companies have counters in both the Swiss sector (Hall 4) and French sector (Hall 1).

Insider tip

Decide before you land whether you're heading into Switzerland, France, or Germany, since EuroAirport's terminal physically splits into a Swiss exit and a French exit with separate roads, buses, and even different currencies — doubling back later means crossing through the other country's side of the building. There's no train station inside the terminal itself; the nearest is Saint-Louis-la-Chaussée, about 900m from the building. A dedicated rail link into the terminal has been in planning for years — EuroAirport's own site cites a 2028 target, other reporting suggests it's slipped toward the mid-2030s — so don't build a trip around it existing yet.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg website before travel.
