Guest Pass+

As an overnight guest from outside the canton, you will receive the Guest Pass+ in advance or on arrival at your accommodation (guest tax per person/night CHF 3.50). The Guest Pass+ gives you unlimited and free use of public transport in the Basel region for the duration of your stay. The Guest Pass+ also gives you discounted use of more than 20 leisure activities in the region.

Important information about the Guest Pass+

Who benefits from the Guest Pass+?

Generally, all individuals staying in commercial accommodation establishments in the Canton of Baselland who do not reside in the canton. These guests pay a guest tax of CHF 3.50 per night per person.

How long is the Guest Pass+ valid?

The Guest Pass+ is valid for the duration of the stay, including the arrival and departure days, for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year/accommodation.

Do children under 12 years old (not subject to the tax) receive the Guest Pass+?

Children accompanied by family members liable for guest tax receive the Guest Pass+ free of charge as a gesture of goodwill. 
However, in group accommodations (e.g., hostels or camps), children under 12 are not taxed and therefore do not receive a Guest Pass+.

What happens in the event of rebooking or cancellations?

The validity of the Guest Pass+ automatically expires in the case of cancellations. For rebooking, the guest must obtain a new printed or downloaded version of the Guest Pass+.
