Porrentruy Castle is certainly the highlight of any city tour.
Large parts of the castle are open to the public. From up here you can enjoy a fantastic view over the medieval town and its surrounding area. The centerpiece of the castle is the mighty Réfus Tower. It can be climbed up to the top of the tower roof, with a spiral-like external staircase leading to the entrance, which is 9 m above the ground. If you want to go up here, you should have a head for heights. Numerous "bilingual" information boards pass on their knowledge about the history of the castle to visitors. Behind the castle, there are lush meadows that invite you to take a walk. Anyone who is unable to walk can easily park their car behind the palace complex. There were even pitches for campers with electricity, etc. thought and behind the castle wall there is a clean toilet block. If you want to leave the castle towards the city, you can either do so via a spiral staircase or use the elevator.

The Porrentruy Castle is absolutely worth seeing - the access via the spiral staircase is particularly beautiful (wooden door in the cul-de-sac "Aux Capucins" - but may not always be open.)
