St. Johann

As a former workers’ district, St. Johann has always been a place where a wide variety of cultures come together. This tradition has continued in recent years – thanks to the Novartis Campus, which is gradually developing into a «city within the city». But there is more than just that happening in this part of Basel: new restaurants and pubs are sprouting like mushrooms here. And even beyond the Novartis Campus, the quarter is an exciting spot for fans of architecture.

St. Johann is increasingly becoming a recreational area. Recently St. Johann Park was joined by a further location that has proven to be very popular with walkers and leisure-seekers: the Rheinuferweg, a path along the banks of the Rhine which makes it possible to explore the three-country region on foot.
