Neuchâtel is one of Switzerland's overlooked gems — a city with a castle, a fantastical street, and a lake that gives it an almost unfair advantage.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Neuchâtel on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Solve riddles at the Château de Neuchâtel, Une rue fantastique, and the Quai Ostervald — medieval history, architectural surprise, and lakeside elegance
• Walk through Neuchâtel at your own pace with no fixed timetable
• Perfect for couples, families, and groups of any size
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in French, English, and German.
Geneva gets the attention. Neuchâtel gets the last laugh.

What to expect
Your first landmark is the Château de Neuchâtel, the medieval castle and collegiate church complex whose towers and golden sandstone walls rise above the old town — the seat of Neuchâtel's counts and a remarkably well-preserved example of medieval Swiss architecture.
From there the app takes you along Une rue fantastique, the 'fantastic street' — a celebrated example of architectural eclecticism where buildings from different periods and styles line up in a sequence that has been described as the most varied streetscape in Switzerland.
The route concludes at the Quai Ostervald, the lakeside promenade where the full panorama of Lac de Neuchâtel opens up before you, with the Jura mountains on the far shore and the Alps visible on clear days beyond.
Around 2 hours on foot. Neuchâtel's old town is compact and the lake always at the end of a downhill walk.
