Street art, Eurovision, classic cars, and factory-chic vibes - Mulhouse is one of France’s most underrated cultural destinations.
Mulhouse may not flaunt fairy-tale facades, but its edge is what makes it electric. Just over the border from Basel, this reinvented factory town brims with street art, design culture, and two must-see museums: the Cite du Train and Cite de l’Automobile, home to Europe’s largest collections of trains and cars. Explore the La Kunsthalle’s cutting-edge exhibits or stroll mural-lined streets under M.U.R. Mulhouse’s bold brushstrokes. With three hours, you can soak in both industrial heritage and vibrant creativity, plus a local tarte flambee before your return.
