The City
The charming small town of Olten is centrally located at the southern foot of the Jura on the Aare between Zurich, Basel and Bern. Because of its central location in the Swiss midlands, it is a popular venue for congresses and conferences. The intact nature of the nearby Jura heights also makes the area an attractive leisure region. The historic old town center has been well preserved. Particularly popular here are the car-free strolling areas with buildings well worth seeing and attractive shopping opportunities, the various museums, the active music scene and the extremely diverse cultural and cabaret scene.
The Accommodation
Hotel Olten is a modern 3*** superior business and city hotel for tourists, business people and seminar guests in a central location in Olten. It is located directly by the train station and only two minutes walk from the old town and the city center.
The Location
The YouthStart European Entrepreneurship Award on Friday will take place at BBZ Olten.
