Neuchâtel is perched beside the lake that shares its name, with the Jura Mountains rising behind it. These natural wonders combined with the charm and history of the Old Town give Neuchâtel a unique beauty and atmosphere. Begin your exploration of Neuchâtel with a stroll through the maze-like streets of the Old Town. Going back to the year 1011, the city’s medieval buildings and cobbled streets ooze history and grandeur. Place Pury marks the start of the pedestrian zone. It’s also a central point for transportation links and a good place to meet for drinks on a terrace. Climb up to the Château du Neuchâtel, the elegant castle sitting on a small hill near the centre of the Old Town. Take a tour of the stately building that is still home to the government offices of the Neuchâtel Canton and peer out over the city’s red roofs. Next door, admire the Gothic Collegiate Church and look for the cenotaph honouring the Counts of Neuchâtel. Head down to the lakeshore for a stroll along the promenade of Lac de Neuchâtel (Neuchâtel Lake). Pleasant sandy beaches offer a chance for a summer swim or a quiet moment in the sun. Try one of the waterfront cafés for a bite to eat with lake views framed by the Alps in the distance. Discover just how fascinating natural history can be with a visit to the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle (Natural History Museum). Well-presented displays and interactive activities provide lots of fun for the whole family. Also visit the fascinating Musee d'Art et d'Histoire (Museum of Art and History). Along with the beautiful building and displays, a highlight is the eerie automaton display of a human-like robot. Hop aboard the funicular at La Coudre station to get to Chaumont, a peak just behind the city. Once at the top, walk out along the narrow bridge to the tower. Gaze out from this 3,805-foot (1,160-metre) high vantage point for panoramic vistas of the Trois-Lacs (Three Lakes) and, on a clear day, the Mont Blanc range of the Swiss Alps. With its exciting mix of art, nature, culture, history and natural wonders, Neuchâtel ticks many boxes. Your only dilemma during your visit will be deciding which box of delights to open next. ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.

Unfortunately i do not speak French but my husband does and she was very nice and let him translate while we walked around. ### 4/5 - Good MC The people of Neuchatel were friendly & welcoming. Found I was able to use either Euros or Swiss Francs in every location visited, except 1 (an unfriendly restaurateur (luckily the fondue was good), who refused to take Euros). ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Lodging - Flights - Packages - [Bevaix Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Bevaix-Hotels.d6125101.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Bole Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Bole-Hotels.d3000433050.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Boudry Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Boudry-Hotels.d3000013932.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Champ-Du-Moulin Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Champ-Du-Moulin-Hotels.d553248635975851486.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Chaumont Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Chaumont-Hotels.d3000013891.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Chez-Le-Bart Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Chez-Le-Bart-Hotels.d3000013886.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Chezard-Saint-Martin Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Chezard-Saint-Martin-Hotels.d6048638.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Colombier Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombier-Hotels.d6035381.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Cortaillod Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Cortaillod-Hotels.d6123623.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Couvet Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Couvet-Hotels.d6034069.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Fleurier Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Fleurier-Hotels.d3000013826.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Gorgier Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gorgier-Hotels.d3000013788.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hauterive Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Hauterive-Hotels.d698680951849713664.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [La Brevine Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Brevine-Hotels.d3000438827.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [La Chaux-de-Fonds Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Chaux-De-Fonds-Hotels.d6034206.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [La Sagne Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Sagne-Hotels.d553248635939577557.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Lac de Neuchatel ](https://www.expedia.ca/Lac-De-Neuchatel-Hotels.0-l553248621532505363-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Le Landeron Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Landeron-Hotels.d3000400326.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Spa Hotels in Le Locle ](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Locle-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d6035374-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Le Locle Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Locle-Hotels.d6035374.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [B&B in Les Brenets ](https://www.expedia.ca/Les-Brenets-Bed-And-Breakfast.d6035377-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Les Brenets Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Les-Brenets-Hotels.d6035377.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Malvilliers Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Malvilliers-Hotels.d553248635975748258.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Montezillon Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Montezillon-Hotels.d6125198.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Motiers Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Motiers-Hotels.d6353307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Rochefort Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Rochefort-Hotels.d6143782.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Saint-Aubin-Sauges Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Aubin-Sauges-Hotels.d3000465090.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Saint-Sulpice Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Sulpice-Hotels.d553248635976386409.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Thielle-Wavre Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Thielle-Wavre-Hotels.d6052371.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Travers Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Travers-Hotels.d6192136.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Val-De-Travers Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Val-De-Travers-Hotels.d553248635939575919.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Vaumarcus Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Vaumarcus-Hotels.d553248635975861472.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Villiers Hotels ](https://www.expedia.ca/Villiers-Hotels.d3000431675.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to La Chaux-de-Fonds ](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheap-Flights-To-La-Chaux-De-Fonds.d6034206.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Visit Boudry ](https://www.expedia.ca/Boudry.dx3000013932) - [Visit Fleurier ](https://www.expedia.ca/Fleurier.dx3000013826) - [Fontaines Vacations ](https://www.expedia.ca/Fontaines.d6342899.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Visit La Chaux-de-Fonds ](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Chaux-De-Fonds.dx6034206) - [Visit Le Locle ](https://www.expedia.ca/Le-Locle.dx6035374) - [Theatre du Passage ](https://www.expedia.ca/Theatre-Du-Passage-Neuchatel.d6266221.Vacation-Attraction) - Cities near Neuchatel - Places of interest [Montezillon](https://expedia.ca/Montezillon.dx6125198)[Enges](https://expedia.ca/Enges.dx3000013845) - [Theatre du Passage ](https://expedia.ca/Theatre-Du-Passage-Neuchatel.d6266221.Vacation-Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels and earn double points when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
