Basel is the cultural capital of Switzerland and the world centre of contemporary art in June — a city at three borders (Switzerland, France and Germany converge here), home to the most powerful pharmaceutical groups in the world (Roche and Novartis both have their global headquarters here) and host to the Basel Museum of Art (Kunstmuseum) — the oldest public collection in the world still in continuous operation. Basel-Mulhouse Airport (BSL/MLH) is the world’s only binational airport, 15 minutes from Basel city centre and 40 minutes from Strasbourg. By jet, Basel is 1h10 from Paris.
flight_takeoffBook a flightArt Basel (June, Basel — the world’s most important international contemporary art and design fair) is the event that transforms Basel into the global capital of art for one week — 93,000 visitors from 94 countries, world-class galleries, public and private sales totalling hundreds of millions of dollars. The week before Art Basel (VIP preview week) is the most in-demand week of the year for private jets in Switzerland — thousands of collectors arrive from New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and European capitals.
Beyond Art Basel, Basel is an outstanding architectural city — the concentration of buildings by great architects (Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, Tadao Ando, Álvaro Siza) is unique in Europe, notably on the Novartis campus and in the Beyeler Foundation park. The Tinguely Museum, the Beyeler Foundation and Vitra Campus (Weil am Rhein, 5 min) complete a cultural offering of the highest order.

All your questions about private jets to Basel
Between £4,900 and £9,500 one way, flight time 1h10. During Art Basel (VIP week in June), prices rise by 50 to 80% and BSL slots are virtually impossible to secure without booking 10 to 12 weeks in advance. Art Basel is the most slot-intensive event for private aviation in Switzerland.
Yes — BSL is 1h10 from Paris Le Bourget. The VIP preview (Wednesday) and first VIP preview (Tuesday afternoon) are by invitation — contact your gallery partners for accreditations. Major collectors often land at Zurich (ZRH) and take a chauffeur (1h by road) to avoid BSL congestion. Les Trois Rois hotel is the benchmark for Art Basel stays.
The Novartis campus (Basel) is an architectural masterpiece — 100 ha of grounds with buildings by Frank Gehry (Fabrikgebäude), Tadao Ando, David Chipperfield. Visits are arranged for institutional partners and investors. Roche (Grenzach campus on the Rhine) periodically organises open days for shareholders and scientific partners.
The Beyeler Foundation (Riehen, 15 min from Basel) is regularly cited as the best private museum in Europe — a collection covering Picasso, Monet, Mondrian, Warhol, and spectacular temporary exhibitions (Giacometti, Rothko). The Renzo Piano building is an architectural masterpiece. Private gala evenings are organised for major patrons and partners.
Vitra Campus (Weil am Rhein, Germany, 15 min from BSL) is an outstanding architectural site — Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, Álvaro Siza, SANAA have all built here for the design furniture manufacturer Vitra. The Vitra Design Museum and the Schaudepot (Europe's largest industrial design museum) are both located on site. A 3-hour visit is essential for architecture and design enthusiasts.
Frankfurt (FRA) is 40 minutes from BSL, Zurich (ZRH) 20 minutes — short hops that are often made in a light jet for Roche and Novartis executives travelling to their subsidiaries. As BSL is a Franco-Swiss binational airport, it can be used from either side — French-registered aircraft use the French (MLH/Mulhouse) side.
