EuroAirport Basel–Mulhouse–Freiburg

EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg stands on French soil in Saint-Louis, France, just outside Basel. France and Switzerland run it jointly under a 1949 convention. Swiss rules for customs and policing apply in the Swiss sector, and a dedicated customs road links that sector directly to Basel, separate from the French road network.

The airport is about 3.5 km (2 miles) northwest of Basel. Bus 50 from the Swiss sector reaches Basel SBB, the main train station, in about 20 minutes, with departures every 7 to 10 minutes. From Basel SBB, trams and trains continue across the city and to the rest of Switzerland.

The airport has one terminal, but arrivals split into a French sector and a Swiss sector. Each has its own exit, customs check, bus stops, taxi companies and car parks, and the two road networks are not connected. Choose the Swiss side for Basel and Switzerland and the French side for Alsace and Germany.

EuroAirport has one terminal building. Check-in and departure gates are shared, with separate Schengen and non-Schengen gate areas. On the arrivals level, passengers leave through either the French sector or the Swiss sector, each with its own customs and transport links.

easyJet is the largest airline and has a base at the airport. Wizz Air, Pegasus Airlines and SunExpress fly to Central and Eastern Europe and Turkey. Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, British Airways, Austrian Airlines, Turkish Airlines and flydubai link the airport to their hubs in Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, London, Vienna, Istanbul and Dubai.

Taxis wait outside both the French and the Swiss sector exits. Different companies serve each side: Swiss-side taxis charge in Swiss francs and suit trips into Basel and Switzerland, while French-side taxis charge in euros and suit trips to Mulhouse, Colmar or Freiburg. Use the official rank on the side you exit.

Yes. Bus 50 runs from the Swiss sector to Basel SBB in about 20 minutes. From the French sector, bus 11 goes to Saint-Louis station in about 10 to 15 minutes, bus 220 serves Weil am Rhein and Lörrach, and an hourly bus reaches Freiburg in about 60 minutes. A direct rail link is planned but not yet built.

Take bus 11 from the French sector to Saint-Louis SNCF station, about 10 to 15 minutes away. From there, direct trains run to Mulhouse every 30 minutes and continue to Colmar and Strasbourg. Mulhouse is about 20 km (12 miles) from the airport, so a taxi from the French sector is the direct alternative.

An hourly bus leaves from the French sector and reaches Freiburg central bus station, next to the main train station, in about 60 minutes. Freiburg im Breisgau is about 46 km (29 miles) from the airport. From Freiburg station, trains continue into the Black Forest and north to Offenburg and Karlsruhe.

Take bus 50 from the Swiss sector to Basel SBB, a ride of about 20 minutes. Long-distance trains leave Basel SBB for Zurich, Bern, Lucerne and Lausanne. Exit through the Swiss sector for this route, because bus 50 does not stop on the French side of the terminal.

Only if you arrive from outside the Schengen area and are not an EU citizen. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Passengers on flights within the Schengen area, which includes both France and Switzerland, do not pass passport control but may still meet customs officers.

Both euros and Swiss francs are used: the French sector prices in euros and the Swiss sector in Swiss francs. The airport runs on Central European Time, UTC+1, and moves to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October, the same as Basel and the rest of France.
