How to get there

The UniMail building is part of the Faculté des Sciences at the University of Neuchâtel. The address is Rue Emile-Argand 11, 2000 Neuchâtel. The building’s opening hours can be found here.

To reach the building from the Neuchâtel train station(Gare Nord), take bus line 107 and get off at the Portes Rouges stop. From there, cross the bridge, and you’ll find the UniMail building. Alternatively, you can walk directly from the train station via Esplanade de l’Europe, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
