Switzerland is connected to the world – but how do goods reach us? A significant proportion enters the country via the Rhine. As a lifeline, the Rhine links global sea routes with the Swiss Rhine ports in Basel, making them a key hub for business and transport. 

The new exhibition ‘Rhine Ports – Our Gateway to the World’ invites you to discover this vital infrastructure and the people behind it. Selected exhibits, a walk-in passenger cabin, a modern wheelhouse, simulators and numerous interactive stations make a visit a special experience. Get to know key figures from the Rhine shipping industry through video portraits, throw a rope round the bollard or steer a ship through Basel yourself. Welcome to the Rhine ports at the Swiss Museum of Transport!
