Lac de Neuchâtel, Canton of Neuchatel, Switzerland

4.5 (474 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Neuchatel Bodies of Water

Have a peaceful promenade walk there

If you are in Neuchatel, you can't miss this place. Here you find good restaurants with a view over the lake, promenade path, playgrounds, areas for a volley, etc. To me, it's the best part of the city, as I can refresh my mind after a long day and have a great walk there observing the transparent lake. Some people swim there even when it's cold!

Great Lakes Boat Tour
Leaving our car at the above ground lakefront parking (one of the best kept I have seen so far, also with spotless toilets) in Murten, we took a boat tour from the nearby embarkation point to Neuchatel (passing through a surprisingly pleasant canal connecting the two), looked around in Neuchatel, then went for the Lake Neuchatel northern side boat tour, and had another bout of tourism in Neuchatel, before finally returning by boat to Murten. The LNM boats we were on are in good condition, and staffed by friendly people. The only bummer is the obligation to wear COVID masks on deck as well, but this is a Swiss government regulation. Despite the masks, highly recommended on a hot summer day.

Picturesque but close to activities in the Winter
Beautiful Lake situated at the side of Neuchâtel. Very scenic with the snowy Alps in the background on a clear day. Disappointingly boat rides on the lake are only peak season so other than enjoying the picturesque scenes or walking round it there’s little else to do.
