Neuchatel Switzerland - Top Things to See and Do | 90+ Countries with 3 Kids

The region of "Jura & Three-Lakes" in Switzerland is famous for its great variety of landscapes, its intact and well-protected nature and its history and rich architectural heritage, which is often related to the watch-making industry.
How can one best describe the area? It makes you think of nature, vegetable plantations, vineyards, modern towns, picturesque villages, a mixture of the German and French languages and beautiful lakes.
Snuggled up against the foothills of the Jura Mountains, the city of Neuchâtel is a great base to stay and explore the area. It's situated on the northern shore of the lake of the same name, Lac Neuchâtel, and is full of Gothic churches, castles, beautiful architecture and colorful neighborhoods.
Join us to discover the top things to see and do in the area, including where to stay, dine and partake in fun activities for the whole family to enjoy.
In this video, we went on a Belle Epoque treasure hunt throughout the city, visited museums and the BirdLife nature reserve. We cycled along the lake and went for a swim at Hauterive, took a funicular to the top of Mount Chaumont for an amazing view and then zip-lined through the trees at the Chaumont Adventure Park.
Below are some helpful links to all the activities, restaurants and accommodations we visited while in the area.
Thanks Jura & Three Lakes Tourism for inspiring an epic weekend getaway!

Beautiful city

[@triceratopsamericana2477]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience in Neuchatel! 👏👏👏

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

You’re most welcome!

[@ThierryPaulLandis]

Love what you guys are doing, especially the vlogs from Switzerland. Lots of reminiscing having grown up there.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos!! Such a beautiful country to discover!

[@warringalice3980]

we are loving the buildings, tram ride...rope walks, and the food....ok on bucket list...must get there...

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

You'll love it!

[@warrenkeppler9217]

Like the local support, makes sense and I'd guess it makes a more unique experience.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Absolutely! This is what keeps every little area still unique as well.

[@markusstudeli2997]

Good to see that you also gave the less famous places of Switzeland not located in the Alps a go. This area with Neuchâtel and the Jura is actually the poorest region of Switzerland, not really with a big international reputation. But they seem to make special efforts to promote their attractions to tourists. Even though I'm a local, I find your discoveries inspiring. You definitely deserve more views. Take care and keep going (hope you'll make your way back here someday)!

[@jamijam3105]

The river near the cardinal was a big one before! It's called '' Seyon'' and now this street is named ''rue du Seyon'' because of the river. But it has been diverted since ~1900. Now there is still this small one to remind of the old one. Thank you for this video that shows our city in its best light!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Great information. Thanks for sharing!

I'm 55 and I know I will never go to switzerland but watching your video is like being there. the food the streets houses people. simply love your videos. creers from Nayarit Mexico.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing it and so glad you like the tour!

[@olivierrychner]

Fantastic to see my place through your eyes! My only critique would be that you've stayed only very close to Neuchâtel, while the Canton has much more to offer, in the hills north beyond Chaumont... but it's a reason for you to come back!

[@sandrabrown6326]

This place looks fantastic. The food, there "bee chateau" I just love it. Also going to look at Pier One and Ole World Market for the Swiss Mayo. I just have to try it. (if I can find it, ha) Also when the name of where you are at comes on to the screen. I try to pronounce it. Then you say it and I am so far off. Your pronunciation is so nice. I hope I get better. I just love the breakfast basket. Thanks for all the nice videos.

[@eisenjeisen6262]

Hello Hello, Born Free, and Live For Life, is the only way to go, as on my FB page as I play it over, and over "Live For Life" and a French song and combine with French food you got it made, as you broke my heart especially that food and fresh "air" so I can't wait to get their, and I wait "for a very important date,, have a great day. and Live For Life.

Another great family travel video. Looks awesome and that booklet looks really great too, especially given other prices in Switzerland. -Henry

Yes, it's super helpful and gives you tons of attractions to see and do.

[@davidmorneau9759]

Oh, wonderful! Your attitudes have changed soooooo much from how you were in the African countries. I can easily understand why, and it's not just 'cause you came home, of course you're glad to be home but Africa was even stressful to watch you navigate your way around. Go!. have fun.............Dave from MN

Chantel and Chloe have me saying crazy all the time now, their favorite word to describe things, LOL. What prize was in the treasure hunt box?

[@queencrimson4571]

So cool, you should have visited "le creux du van" ! Also I keep wondering how you could have missed the huge egg laying on one of the tour in the center of Neuchâtel? You walked nearby ! Guess you need to look up sometimes haha. Check on google "Mandril oeuf géant".

[@waltpartymiller6802]

Years ago, someone said that it is wise to eat before you go grocery/food shopping- so that you aren't tempted to buy everything that looks good & spend too much money. It is also wise to eat before watching a GUWB video, so that you don't get hunger pangs looking at the good food you guys eat.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

😂😂😂

At 10:18; Lumiere. Haha, I think you guys just needed to eat. ;)

Do you have a link for the tourist pass please..beautiful family

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

For the tourist pass you get this when you stay at one of the hotels in the area. You can check with the Jura & Three Lakes Tourism to see if they offer it as well. Here's the link so you can contact them: www.j3l.ch/en/

[@billhansen2786]

So yeah, it is a nice bonus when the most beautiful country in the world is also home sweet home. So is a faux pas like a false step?

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yes it's a really nice country and everything around you look picturesque. A faux pas is something you shouldn't do.

One thing that I love about nature is not watch birds, I love to watch trees, they kind of look like people. Their shapes, if you use your imagination, makes you feel like they are posing for you. Some them looking like are they are valet dancers and some look like they actually alive. I suggest you to look more the trees and you’ll see what I am trying to say...good luck!

[@Iftekasat]

Usually when you introduce yourselves to other people, do you introduce yourselves as Swiss or Canadians....

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Most people ask where are you from and our answer is we're originally from Canada and we live in... Then I usually explain how we have dual citizenship etc... So I guess the answer is Canadian/Swiss. :)
