You will discover the Swiss Riviera – the most beautiful towns along the shores of Lake Geneva. Lush vegetation, a sunny, mild climate and clean air make for a pleasant holiday. The shores of Lake Geneva are considered one of the most beautiful in the world. Amazing architecture of cities and abundance of monuments of antiquity make the “Riviera” the most popular tour of Switzerland. Montreux is home to a beautifully preserved medieval fortress, the Chillon Castle.
Filled with sunshine and floral fragrance, the lakeside promenade is enchanting with its panoramic views. Montreux was the final years of the famous Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov. There is a monument in his honour in the city. Vöwe is both a resort and a business town, the place where the headquarters of the international company Nestlé is located. There is a monument to Charles Chaplin in the city centre, and his daughter still lives in the family villa. Lausanne is the largest city on the Swiss Riviera.
In ancient times it was the site of a Roman military camp. You’ll see the city’s famous buildings – the Gothic Church of St Francis, the late Gothic Town Hall, Lausanne’s Notre Dame Cathedral and Beaulieu Castle. Lausanne is home to the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Museum. The shady alleys of the Mont Repo, Hermitage, Elysée and Olympic parks are a great place for a stroll in the hot summer.
