What is your favourite time of year in the neighbourhood?
One special moment is always when spring is awakening, when people venture out in t-shirts and shorts again for the first time, to spend the warm evenings in the open air again, when a refreshing mood of optimism prevails. But then there are also the cold winter mornings, emotionally charged and melancholic, when wafts of mist lie over the ports and hundreds of seagulls suddenly migrate across the tri-border area in impressive formations.
We feel at home in this neighbourhood because …
… everybody treats each other as equals here. We would describe the people who live around here as genuine, honest, and down-to-earth. Nobody here feels they are superior to everyone else.
In what way do you and your establishment contribute to the appeal of your neighbourhood?
With our Sandoase, we have created a place where people of all generations and from every corner of the three countries that converge in this area can escape their day-to-day life for a few hours. The Sandoase also makes the people of Basel aware of their ports and the central role they play as a pivotal hub of the Swiss economy.
Which three adjectives best describe your neighbourhood?
Dreamy, disreputable, interconnected.
