The historic city centre, formed by a loop of the Doubs river. It's the compact core with most of the monuments, shops, and restaurants.

Lively, medieval, and walkable — touristy but genuine.

First-time visitors, couples, and anyone wanting to be right in the action.

Mostly mid-range hotels (€80–€140) and a few boutique spots; limited budget options.

Very walkable. Everything is within 20 minutes on foot. The main train station (Gare Viotte) is a 10-minute walk across the river. EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse is a 1.5-hour drive or train+bus.
