Event Hall

From the tram stop, going past the new 360-day restaurant run by Käfer Schweiz, you can reach the pillar-free Event Hall through the inviting entrance foyer all on the same level. The Congress Center Basel is linked directly, via a walkway, to the Event Hall and the new exhibition hall designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The new hall complex is not only an architectural highlight but also satisfies the most innovative and demanding of customer wishes through its state-of-the-art facilities.
