Park in Grunen

Right next door is Park in Grunen or Grun 80 that is a perfect place for running, skating and biking for the entire family around the parks man made lake. There is also a dinosaur park there too.

Wenkenhof - Villa, Gardens, and Riding Hall

The Villa Wenkenhof is also a treat based over in Riehen, I have had a brunch in the ‘Riding Hall’ Reithalle at Wenkenhof and have also, visited a Christmas market there but haven’t visited in the summer yet. From what I saw last winter it was a great place to be.

Enjoy Summer Drinks

The sun is out and so are the buvette’s and terraces deck chairs, tables and umbrellas. Enjoy the sun in Basel but please protect your skin and wear sunscreen.

Listen to Music outside

Merian Gardens are offering donations concerts during the summer months and there is a series of Jazz concerts at the Kunstmuseum on Sundays during the summer as well.
