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:

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.
