Top Rated Shopping in Basel

Established in 1992, Olymp & Hades is one of the most reputed book dealers in the old town of Basel. They sell all kinds of hard-to-find books, reproductions, postcards as well as translations for the discerning book lover, who needs more than the latest American bestseller. Fans of English literature can find all of their favorite novels in German. Don't be surprised to find university students and bibliophiles, hidden among the endless stacks of books.

Ever wondered what people in the last century used to play within an age without video games and battery operated toys? Then head down to Zur Puppenfee where you can take a walk down time in this cute little shop filled with bears, dolls and antique toys from the old times. Puppet shows and workshops are held here sometimes, so do have a look if you are in Basel, this time around.
