Affordable Accomodation and Food

Foodtruck

Switzerland is known as an expensive country and we understand that this may make some people hesitant to submit a proposal. However, Basel is located almost on top of the border with France and Germany, meaning that you could travel to and find accommodation in places just across the border and take a tram or bus into the city center for the conference. As conference organizers we will be sure to provide affordable options for accommodation in Basel, as well as just across the border. In addition, we will compile a list of affordable dinner options and other cost-cutting tips in our city that will be published here soon. 

Hotels

We have been in contact with a number of hotels, which offered special booking conditions for our conference attendees. The corresponding room contingents are reserved for bookings from the 22nd until the 27th of June 2027. Please visit this website for more information on the city tax. Basel hotels include the Basel Card, which provides free public transport (buses and trams).
