Rheingasse in Transition

Whoever stays at Hotel Krafft finds themselves right in the heart of Kleinbasel – directly on the historic Rheingasse. This street is currently writing a new chapter in its long history:

Beneath the pavement, the city is renewing its lifelines – water pipes, sewage, energy, and district heating. Above ground, the space is being redesigned: more open, inviting, and fully dedicated to pedestrian life. The construction work will move through the street in stages until 2027.
