Basel's “Welcome Home” App: Your Ultimate Eurovision Song Contest Companion

Get ready for a mind-blowing experience as the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) makes its epic comeback to its birthplace, Basel, after six decades. To ensure attendees have the best time possible, a special app, called "Basel - Welcome Home," has been developed. This interactive event guide offers a treasure trove of information to help you navigate the city in style.

The City of Basel has landed the prestigious role of hosting the 69th edition of the competition, with the St. Jakobshalle serving as the venue for the semi-finals on May 13 and 15, and the grand finale on May 17. As part of the "Welcome Home" motto, Basel celebrates the diversity and openness of the city as it welcomes the ESC back to its roots.

The "Basel - Welcome Home" app is your one-stop-shop for everything Eurovision and Basel-related. Available for free on popular app stores (for Android and iOS) from early May, this handy tool features:

  • Personalized Recommendations: Never miss a beat with the app's personalized suggestions designed to make the most of your trip. Discover the best events, attractions, and eateries with the interactive city map, and stay updated on all the latest ESC developments with a news ticker.
  • Up-to-the-Minute Updates: No need to worry about missing crucial moments during the ESC week. The app provides live updates on all key performances, events, and happenings to keep you in the loop.

A Cultural Experience Like No Other

The app also puts a spotlight on integrating local cultural offerings into your itinerary. Find out about the Eurovision Village, Euroclub, and other events directly through the app. Not only does this foster connections between international visitors and the city, but it also encourages local participation in the major event.

  • Comprehensive Event Listings: The entertainment doesn't stop at the live shows. The app includes full schedules for various Eurovision-related events, such as the Opening Ceremony, Eurovision Village with live concerts and food, Eurovision Square with daily open-air performances, and more.
  • Helpful Local Tips: Want to truly immerse yourself in Basel's vibrant culture? The app offers insightful tips to help you make the most of your stay in the city.

Efficient Travel Options and a Thrilling Fringe Program

In partnership with Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) and local public transport providers, a comprehensive mobility concept has been developed. Visitors with ESC tickets will receive discounts on public transport tickets and can travel for free within the regional network on show days. Additional buses, trams, and shuttle services ensure safe and comfortable travel to the events.

While the main events dominate the spotlight, Basel boasts a captivating fringe program. The Eurovision Village in the Basel Exhibition Quarter offers daily live concerts, public viewings, and culinary delights. The Eurovision Square on Barfüsserplatz and the Eurovision Boulevard interconnect various ESC venues, creating a unique festival atmosphere throughout the city.

With the "Basel - Welcome Home" app, the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 promises to be not only a musical sensation but also a digital experience that leaves a lasting impression. The melding of innovative technology, sustainable mobility, and cultural diversity makes Basel the perfect host for this international spectacle[3][4][5].
