Liestal Hotels and Accommodation

The well preserved village of Liestal is the capital of the Swiss canton of Basel-Land. Liestal was founded in Roman times, and in nearby Augusta Raurica – also called Rome on the Rhine – there are Roman ruins, a museum and even a Roman farm animal park. You can get there by train or by rented bicycle. Whether you come here for a vacation or just to spend a weekend, Liestal is bound to lave you with special memories. Guests staying in Liestal hotels, if they are here in early or mid-March, may witness the annual ancient celebration called Chienbase, which is highlighted by a parade of fire. At the Basel-Land Cantonal Museum in Liestal you can see a display of historic artifacts. The Dichtermuseum (Writer’s Museum) features the works of Nobel Prize winner Carl Spitteler, who was born in Liestal. In nearby Binningen you can see the Monteverdi Car Collection, Europe’s largest collection (8,000) of model cars.
