This place used to be the hospital for the town and you can see how it was set up including an apothecary, kitchens, chapel, and some unique bedding arrangements. Not too expensive to get into (about 12 euro) and worth doing even if some of the rooms are a bit over staged.

This is a very beautiful place, with a very interesting history. I liked that I could go at my own…read morepace, listening to the audio description.

Yelp Review 2026 #162:…read more Place de la Palud is in the heart of Lausanne's Old Town. It's been an important area for merchants when a market was established in 1220. Til this day, there is a market here. Vendors selling flowers, fruits, vegetables, cheese and other food. This was once a marshy area. There's a water fountain, a clock that surprised me. I happened to walk in front of the clock and all of a sudden, I witnessed a show. It's animated clock that goes off every hour from 8am to 9pm. There's shopping and restaurants nearby. It's a busy place.

My boyfriend has been my guide through Switzerland and decided today we'd visit the Tower of Fart…read more I know apparently how you pronouce Peilz sounds the same as the word fart. Later on I'll be reviewing the Castle of to shit. Anyways, this tower is situated near the lake and is in the city near Nestle. Yes the company is from Switzerland. Saw the building too. The tower has some kind of walk way to it, but it was closed when we got to the door. We then took a walk around the tower. There was a cave with water dripping through the top as it was raining when we were there. Also a little area full of yachts. Cute place to meander around. The museum of games is here too.

The Neuchatel Castle is now home to the Neuchatel cantonal legislative offices, the cantonal law…read morecourts (hold hearings here), and other administrative offices. Between 1st April and 30th September, the castle is open for free guided tours. Guided tours leave from the main entrance at 10am, 11am, 12pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm on weekdays and 10am, 11am, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm on Saturdays and at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm on Sundays and public holidays. The guided tour takes you through several of the legislative and court rooms, knights room, and offices. The tour guide was extremely informative and friendly, probably one of the best tour guides I have had. The inside of the castle was definitely worth seeing. There are some beautiful art pieces and historic Neuchatel Clocks on display within some of the rooms.

The Prison Tower claimed to be the oldest building in Neuchâtel with foundations dating back to the…read more10th century. The Prison tower can be found at the base of the Neuchatel castle and is definitely worth a stop for anyone touring the area. Inside the tower as you climb the steep wooden stairs up you will find two two wooden cells that were used until 1848 (couldn't believe how tiny they were!). Once you reach the top, you will find a fantastic view of the city, lake, and surrounding mountains. For only 2 chf entrance free it is definitely worth a visit for the view. The entrance is automated, and there are no humans manning the gate. The tower closes at 6pm. You have to feed the machine exactly 2 CHF in coins, no more, no less. If you don't give it exact change, the door won't open, and you won't get your coins back. We were 10 cents short, and it wouldn't give us back our money, we had to run to a nearby store to get 10 cents to feed into the machine in order for it to let us in. It was quite frustrating. Also, there is a large turnstile gate and a door. It is not the door that you enter it is the claw like turnstile. After you feed the machine 2 chf there is no sound or indication that the door has been released, you just go through. Then the next person is free to feed the machine money. Other than the frustrating entrance turnstile, I enjoyed the view awaiting me at the top.
