Description:
At more than 100 years old, this grande dame of the region is as famous for its outdoor terrace as it is for the five-star rooms inside. An absolute must for any visitor to Montreux, the terrace is particularly beautiful at sunset with views of Lake Geneva below and the shadows of the Alps above. Order anything, sit for hours, surround yourself with good company. Or you can check out the high-end spa inside... |

Description:
One of Switzerland's most visited attractions, this castle outside Montreux is most famous as the subject of Lord Byron's poem, "The Prisoner of Chillon." Take the path along the lake from Montreux to the castle, then head inside for dark, dreary, tourist-packed fun. Don't settle for the video foisted on you at the entrance. Pay the fee and head inside on your own. Wine-tasting is also on offer. Guided tours are available on Sundays from September through June, daily during July and August - call for times. |

Description:
Housed in a 17th-century building, this "museum of old Montreux" documents the various eras from the dawn of history to the age of tourism – quite a bit of ground to cover. Inside you will find typical artifacts like Roman remains and coins, and less typical showcases revealing how Montreux became a tourist mecca. |
