The perfect to host the 69th Eurovision Spng Contest. I visited this area a few times during Eurovision week in Basel, and I enjoyed my overall experience! The is modern and well designed, which made it possible to host Eurovision with the latest technology. The stage was incredible – built with two connected parts, a beautiful LED arch, and a massive main screen. The entire was filled with bright, colorful lights that created a fantastic atmosphere. I had seats in a few different areas: once standing right in front of the stage, once standing on the right side between the two stage parts, and once in an actual seat on the upper level on the right side. Each angle gave me a completely different visual experience, and I loved them all! The sound was outstanding everywhere around the – the music quality was excellent! I really liked the large screens hanging above – they made it easy for on the upper levels to follow everything happening on stage. The seating in the audience was very well – it was easy to find my section, row, and seat. The seats themselves were moderately comfortable,but I wish they had been a bit wider. Inside the everything looked well maintained and clean. Food kiosks were available near most entrances with a decent selection of snacks and drinks. Prices were slightly on the higher side, but still reasonable. The toilet situation was fine, but not excellent – unlike some arenas that have restrooms right next to every entrance, St. Jakobshalle didn’t, which caused small lines at times. Also,some toilets were made gender neutral, which I personally found a bit weird and uncomfortable. St. Jakobshalle isn’t huge. If I remember correctly, its capacity for Eurovision show was about 12000 people, much less compared to previous years. Personally, I prefer massive crowds for events like Eurovision, so the smaller size was a minus for me. On the positive side, the entry lines were faster and the waits shorter, and I also noticed three levels of security, which was definitely a big plus. Security throughout the was well enforced, and no incidents happened during the Eurovision week; I felt very safe. However, they did have some silly rules about bringing things inside: limited flag sizes, no plastic flag sticks; and even once I personally had an issue with my small phone battery charger, so I had to ask a security guy to bring a supervisor who finally allowed me in with it. The arena’s location is quite convenient. It’s not far from the center of Basel, and you can get there in many ways. Walking from the city center takes about 45 minutes, while a direct train ride is only 20 minutes. Electric scooters and bikes are another easy option, with Basel’s bike lanes leading directly to the arena. From my hotel’s location right on the Swiss-French border in the French town of Saint-Louis, I took Uber a couple of times; and the ride was only 12 minutes and cost about €15. Overall, I’m absolutely happy I had the chance to visit St. Jakobshalle and experience Eurovision there. It was an unforgettable week, and I hope to return to the one day for another show. Really cool and Dressage World Cup final was amazing. Highly recommended for Equestrians! It’s a sports hall where lots of different events, whether sports-related or not, take place. This time I visited the Yonex Swiss Open 2025, badminton tournament. I think a lot of the local but also international sport tournaments are held here. The place is big but not huge. The courts are all indoors. There are food stalls inside and of course other stands depending on the event. Across the street is the St. Jakob-Park, outdoor and usually hosts the FCB soccer matches. The hall is easily accessible by trains, buses, and cars. Went for the Joe Dispenza event, location is well connected, but toilets were not enough for 8000 attending. Professional sports arena, well equipped and organized. We've been there several times and were positively impressed every time. S Amazing experience at St. Jakobshalle in Basel during the 3-day Joe Dispenza Retreat! The event was beautifully organized, with excellent logistics and a seamless flow from start to finish. The energy, the people, and the insights we gained were unforgettable. Truly a top-class for such a transformative event! I attended a retreat with over 8000 people. The place has a lot of space and the food and drinks were very well organized. Also many outdoor space, both balcony and garden. The problem is with the bathrooms, there are not enough of them… A modern that I visited during Eurovision 2025. The show was great, was modern, toilets clean, staff were professional, bars available near each entrance to the arena. I accompanied my wife to a conference at the Auditorium. The mall/shopping center in front of the was a good way to while away the time and/or get some work done sitting in the cafe. Behind the auditorium is a nature park with an abundance of birds, get ready to take a long walk past the football fields. Beside the Auditorium is the Merian Gardens, a botanical garden which is also a very good way to spend time in Basel while waiting for the event at the Auditorium to finish. We were there for the Karate Basel Open. Good and well maintained. I don’t know if the cantine is run by the or by the Open organisers but we got shortchanged twice which was a bit lame. I was here for a retreat, the location was top organized. We were 8100 people. Logistica was really well organized, acustic and setting was good... Easy to reach with public transport, shows nearby. I was really surprised. Great for Dr Joe retreat.... super helpful, kind and friendly staff - big shout out to Evelyn who went above & beyond - promotion & payrise for you!!! Great time, friendly (when they’re not Germans lol) Food’s mid but good 👍 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
