Lake Neuchâtel Promenade & Boat Cruise
Quais et lac de Neuchâtel
The largest lakeside promenade and boat docks in Switzerland, with three-lake cruises connecting Lake Neuchâtel, Lake Murten, and Lake Biel.
Lake Neuchâtel is the largest lake located entirely within Switzerland. The city has a promenade several kilometers long along the shore. From the harbor to the Jeunes-Rives park, you will find lawns, a swimming area, and lakeside restaurants. On clear days, the Alps can be seen across the lake. LNM boat company departs from the harbor with short loops around the lake and 'three-lake' cruises that connect Lake Murten and Lake Biel by canal. In summer, there are multiple departures each day, and the full trip takes about half a day. Locals love the sunset over the lake in the evening.
Opening hours
Trail open all day; boat times per LNM schedule (most sailings in summer)
