Four cities competed for the right to host Eurovision: Geneva, Zurich, Basel and Bern-Biel.
In the final, the choice was narrowed down to Geneva and Basel.
By the way, Biel, Nemo's hometown, offered the most modest amount for the show, but actively promoted the idea of holding the contest there, using the artist's victory at Eurovision 2024 as an argument.
It should be noted that Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland, located on the banks of the Rhine. It is known as the cultural capital of the country due to its numerous museums, galleries and theaters.
Basel is also an important economic and educational center, it is home to the oldest university in Switzerland.
The city is famous for its historic old town and the annual Art Basel art fair.
