Basel, Switzerland’s oldest university town, is rich in history with landmarks like the grand market square, the red sandstone town hall, and the impressive Romanesque-Gothic cathedral. Its true icon, however, is the Rhine — and in 2025, it will be the heart of the celebration as the Eurovision Song Contest comes to town!

From the moment you arrive, the city transforms into a vibrant festival. Stroll down Eurovision Boulevard, stretching from Basel SBB to Badischer Bahnhof and along the Rhine, and feel the excitement on Eurovision Street. Discover ESC-themed locations throughout the city and experience Basel like never before — in full Eurovision fever!

Please bring your own lunch, as the food in Switzerland is very expensive and it will give us more time.

Please bring valid travel documents as we will cross the border.

Recommendation: Switzerland is not an EU country, so there is no Euro roaming. Therefore, if you want to save on mobile phone charges, you should download maps in advance (Google offline maps) to save your mobile data. In the meantime the prices have however become bearable, about 5€ for 50 MB.
