When the cold winter air blows through the narrow streets of Basel's old town and there is a constant scent of mulled wine and cinnamon in the air, some of Basel’s hidden courtyards awaken in their magic. For the first time this year, 18 selected Basel courtyards are transformed into contemplative Christmas oases in the run-up to the holidays and guarantee a well-deserved time-out away from hectic everyday life!
All of the 18 festively lit and decorated "Zauberhöfe" (magical courtyards) are worth visiting because they each have their unique charm. One of them is the “Zauberhof by Johann Wanner.” Located right next to his Christmas house, Johann Wanner, the city's well-known manufacturer and dealer of handmade Christmas decorations, is transforming the historic Spalenhof into a Christmas oasis with a vintage look. In the Schmiedehof near the GGG library, you can not only experience magical moments, but also enjoy a culinary offering. And in the inner courtyard of Basel Rathaus (City Hall), there is a large Christmas tree, and in the evening, a light projection that brings the figures on the wall to life while visitors write down their wishes in the large book of wishes.
