Compare 5 airports near Neuchatel
For most travelers, Geneva Airport (GVA) offers the most balanced experience, serving as a primary international gateway with excellent, direct train links to Neuchâtel. It is not located in Neuchâtel itself but provides the fastest and most economical transit. Zurich Airport (ZRH) is another major international hub, farther away but well-connected by high-frequency, direct rail services, making it a great alternative for those finding better flight schedules or fares. EuroAirport Swiss Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (BSL) and EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (MLH) serve the nearby city of Basel and are practical for regional flights, though they require a shuttle and train transfer to reach Neuchâtel. Finally, Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS) is located in France, far from Neuchâtel, and is generally only recommended if specific flight routes dictate it, as transit times are long and often involve multiple transfers. Always verify train schedules on the SBB website before departure.

The reception staff is very friendly. Although the room is going to another building, the hotel will help carry the luggage to the room. The room decoration is simple and the room type we live in is very large, but there is something that makes me very dissatisfied, that is, the hotel corridor and the decoration painting in the room. It is all a dark style of terror. This style of painting in the hotel will really make the guests feel very upset. I hope the hotel can replace those paintings.FromUS$147
