Introduction

Basel Bad Bf or Basel Badischer Bahnhof is a unique railway station managed by the German national railway operator DB, but it is completely located in Switzerland. Most of the train services using the train station are to and from Germany, so many train information is included in the German railway.

Therefore, Basel Bad Bf is similar to the typical German main station (Hauptbahnhof), related to its signage, information screen and platform division. The station platform has stairs and ramps for passenger passages to and from the entrance hall.

All ICE trains to and from Basel are on the Basel Bad Bf driveway to Basel SBB station, but the latter station is located south of the city centre. So if you are traveling between Germany and destinations in the heart of Basel, the quickest and easiest option is to board the train at Basel Bad Bf.
