Walking
If you're already in Old Town, head towards the Rhine River. From the Marktplatz, walk down Freie Strasse until you reach the riverbank. Once you arrive at the Rhine, turn right and walk along the river until you see the viewpoint on the Kleinbasel side, which is located at the end of the promenade.
Walking
Alternatively, if you're near the Basel Minster, exit the Minster and walk down to the river. From there, follow the riverbank towards the east. As you walk, you'll be treated to beautiful views of the Old Town across the water, and you'll reach the Viewpoint Altstadt Kleinbasel in approximately 10-15 minutes.
Public Transport
For those who prefer public transportation, take the tram from any tram stop in Old Town. The closest tram stop is 'Marktplatz.' You can board tram line 10 or 8 towards either direction (Riehen or Badischer Bahnhof) and get off at 'Schifflände' stop. From there, walk towards the river and follow the walkways to the viewpoint, which is just a few minutes away.
