Roche Tower (Building 2), known as Bau 2, is an impressive and vital component of the Roche pharmaceutical company’s headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Standing at 205 meters with 50 floors, it is the tallest inhabitable building in Switzerland, designed by the renowned architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron. This modern skyscraper primarily serves as an office building, accommodating thousands of Roche employees in flexible, state-of-the-art workspaces, and embodies the company’s commitment to its Basel site and its research-focused mission.
These tours provide a unique opportunity to see the architecture, work areas, and enjoy stunning views from the top-floor cafeteria. Booking for these tours is free but required, often via the Basel Tourism website. Participants must be at least 7 years old and bring identification. Apart from these pre-booked guided tours, the building does not have public “open and close hours.”
