From the Kleinbasel area, head towards the Rhine River. Depending on your starting point, you can walk along one of the main streets, such as Clarastrasse or St. Johanns Tor, which will lead you to the waterfront. Once you reach the river, turn towards the east and follow the path along the Rhine. Promenade Unterer Rheinweg will be situated along this riverside promenade, offering beautiful views of the river and the opposite bank.
Public Transport - Tram
If you prefer to use public transport, find the nearest tram stop (e.g., 'Kleinbasel, Wettsteinplatz'). Take tram number 10 towards 'Eglisee'. After a 3-minute ride, get off at the 'Schiff' stop. From there, walk down to the Rhine River and follow the promenade to reach Promenade Unterer Rheinweg. The tram ticket costs approximately CHF 4 for a single journey in the city.
