St. Nicholas Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas) is an impressive Gothic cathedral and a symbol of the city of Fribourg in Switzerland. Its construction began in 1283 and was completed in the mid-15th century. It is especially famous for its bell tower, which stands 74 meters high. Inside, it features stunning stained glass windows, some of which were designed by the renowned artist Joseph Mehoffer. The cathedral is located in the heart of the historic city center and holds an important place in the cultural and religious life of the city.

A breathtaking spiritual and architectural experience. Visiting St-Nicolas Cathedral was one of the highlights of my time in Fribourg. The moment you step inside, you’re struck by the sheer beauty and grandeur of this incredible Gothic structure. The stained-glass windows are absolutely stunning — each one tells a story, with colors and details that catch the light in the most magical way. The play of sunlight through the glass fills the space with warmth and reverence. It’s a place that invites both quiet reflection and deep appreciation for art and craftsmanship. The organ is magnificent, and although I didn’t catch a live performance, I can only imagine how powerful it must sound echoing through the cathedral’s vast interior. Whether you’re religious or simply interested in history and architecture, this cathedral is a must-visit. There’s a sense of calm and sacredness that fills the air, and you can really feel the soul of Fribourg in this space. I highly recommend climbing the bell tower (if it’s open when you visit) — the panoramic views over the old town and surrounding countryside are unforgettable. A true treasure of Fribourg. Don’t miss it.

Beautiful church with peaceful pipe organ music, I especially love the stained glass windows. Going up the church for panoramic view: It's worth taking 365 steps of stairs up. Ticket price is Chf5 and available for purchase at tourist counter No.8 No wheel chair access. is at the tourist point No.8

A beautiful Roman Catholic cathedral built in the Gothic style, with many amazing Art Nouveau stained-glass windows. Free entry.

Beautiful. After viewing the church, be sure to climb the tower for spectacular views.

Amazing view! Pay 5 Fr. (student / child price available) at the cathedral shop next to the church and you will get a ticket to climb the stairs (368 steps 😬) at the left side of the church (another door).

Beautiful cathedral! The stained glass, relics, statues organ and more make this a great stop. They had great pamphlets available in multiple languages and really interesting history.

Worth to see. In fact, as I could observe this funicular is not spectacular. It's just small and short ride really, but it's a must do in Fribourg. A bit of the history of the city as it connects the old town with the new. I also in another day climbed the stairs next to it, which is not that exhausting.The funicular itself is made of wood and is quite old, which makes it special for me. ****

The price is included in the day ticket. So we thought we should try it. It's travels very short distance. It's not spectacular but an ok experience. Anyways there is not many touristy thing to visit near fribourg city center, so it can be visited once.

Very good Greek food! This place is a mix between your local bar and your greek restaurant. But the food is good!

The teas are so fresh and organic. Kind and warm staff

The caviar from eggplant was excellent as well as the Pitarakia dessert

(Translated by Google) Reopened at the beginning of April 2025, I went to try the Funi steak. Just excellent with the homemade sauce. There is also the vegan version for those who don't want meat. Impeccable service, smiling sommelier and friendly boss. Lots of decoration around the history of the funicular and the Cardinal brewery. In short, to recommend. (Original) Réouvert en ce début avril 2025, je suis allé tester le steak du Funi. Juste excellent avec la sauce maison. Il y a aussi la version vegan pour ceux qui ne veulent pas de viande. Service impeccable, sommelière souriante et patron sympa. Beaucoup de déco autour de l'histoire du funiculaire et de la brasserie Cardinal. Bref, à recommander.

Very mediocre food and rude manager or owner (bold grandpa), highly not recommend.

Great tour with ear phones you point to displays and learn more. I spoke to a chocolate decorator who has been there 25 yrs and he loves working there. Learn how to evaluate chocolate quality and taste and then get to sample many varieties of their chocolates. Superb place!

Absolutely worth a visit! Maison Cailler is an amazing experience from start to finish. There’s plenty of parking space, which makes visiting super convenient. Inside, you get to enjoy lots of free tastings of their delicious, high-quality chocolates every bite is a treat! My family enjoyed it so much The museum is beautifully done, fun, and educational great for both adults and kids. Outside, there’s a lovely park where children can play and enjoy the fresh air while you take in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. A perfect spot for families, chocolate lovers, and anyone visiting Switzerland. Highly recommended!

We went on their tour, and it was an good experience! They had a ton of free samples and some really cool education and history. I wouldn’t drive there for 3 hours, but if you’re in the area, it’s definitely a nice stop.

It’s a really interesting museum! I love how they present their history in such an interactive way, and the chocolate tasting was a great touch. Truly an experience for both adults and children! 🍫

Cailler museum was a pure delight. There was a separate production line just for samples. Loved every bit of the museum from the history of chocolates to modern day chocolate making in Switzerland. Of course the free samples and the discounted chocolates in the gift store were icing on the top!

The Cailler chocolate factory is a very interesting place to visit, with a well-designed tour that shows the history and production process. The experience is enjoyable and the chocolate tasting is definitely a highlight. It is a bit expensive, but still worth it for the quality of the visit. The shop at the end is excellent, offering a wide selection of high-quality chocolates and gifts

Arriving was a little intimidating. We went at a 4:00 on a Sunday, and the line waiting to enter the tour was already out the door. The way they have their store set up is very aesthetically pleasing. A whole wall full of chocolate bars! The tour its self was very entertaining. You are lead through different rooms where they tell you the story of their factory, with each room heavily decorated to tell you part of the story, going perfectly along with the audio tour. They had a chocolate machine making little chocolates right in front of you, which, after being wrapped, were then placed in a bowl specifically for you to eat! They had multiple testing stations after that, which I loved. It was all around worth every penny.

Fantastic Medieval Castle For me this is one of the most fabulous castles in Switzerland with Chateau de Chillon or Vaduz (actually in Liechstenstein). The reason I really like it is the fact it is so well preserved you almost feel like you could be in the 13th century. The wood is still there which is quite unique. The whole feel is very grand. Bonus is that once you are here you can eat a great fondue in one of the local restaurants. Super worth it and recommended.

Enjoyed the visit to the castle very much, I happened to visit during medieval festival which was wonderful. Spent a couple of hours there. Lovely gardens as well. A great day's outing. I recommend going early morning to avoid crowds.

A nice small castle in Gruyère. You will learn how it changes over time as it was owned by a local count to the a rich artist family and lastly as a museum. The castle is interesting since it has also been used as a personal residence of artist family so there are a few rooms that looks like 19th century European home. You can also see beautiful scenery of surrounding village from the castle and also takes picture of beautiful garden. Two negative things that can be improved are: 1) There is a large signboard in the courtyard for ad. 2) There are some modern art installations that feel out of place within the castle (not dedicated space). Both break the immersion. Recommended to visit. 👍 Tips: You can buy join ticket with Maison du Gruyère or Giger Museum or Tibetan Museum.

This is a beautiful small town nestled in the swiss Alps. There are lots of shops and 3 cool museums to visit as well as a castle. The food was great but like in all the other reviews it's expensive. So if you want to eat cheep stop at the grocery store or McDonald's before heading up to the town.

Although we did not go inside, we enjoyed very much walking through the lovely town of Gruyeres all the way up to the castle and admired the beautiful view.

Although growing up in Switzerland, I had never visited Château de Gruyères before and hadn't even been aware of its existence. But I came across it online when planning my most recent visit to the country, and I'm glad I did, because it's an absolute gem and shouldn't be missed by anyone in the area! Unlike many other castles, it's well furnished, so lots of things to look at inside. Especially the tapestries I found sensational. There are also extensive exhibits that tell the story of Swiss tourism, which I found fascinating. Wondering around the castle was a real eye-opener, feeling like a true step back in time, interesting and educational. One thing to slightly criticise: The official Website is very slow, which can be a bit frustrating. Just wondering whether it's running on a slow server, which might benefit from an upgrade. I noticed this when planning the trip and just checked again now, encountering the same problem.

You can combo the castle ticket with the gruyere factory down below. Nice castle with perfect views up and down the valley. Three levels are open with a descent amount of artifacts. The fireplaces are something to pay attention to.

The museum was laid out very well, great selection of art, and friendly staff. It's not my style of art, however, the impact he had on modern movies is quite impressive. My perception is he was pursued by his own inner demons to create the style of art. (I do recommend the bar next door😉) As a side note, he supported bringing a new dimension to the historical castle and area which should not be underestimated.

It's an awesome place to explore the mind of H. R. Giger. From a mechanical perspective the details in his drawings and sculptures is insane and from an artistic perspective, at least subjective from my side - very interesting. If you like phallic/yonic shapes, it's a perfect way to experience them in all weird ways. I had a lot of laughs and good conversations with my GF over some drawings 😂 but also much appreciation over his art. He's 700 year waiting for B-Post sketches are priceless. If you think your child should accompany you - you are probably more weird than Mr. Giger himself. And only the best for Armbeinda.

The HR Giger Museum is an absolutely mind-blowing experience. Walking through the rooms feels like stepping straight into his surreal and dark universe – it’s both eerie and fascinating at the same time. The collection is huge, from his early sketches to the iconic Alien designs, and everywhere you turn there’s something that grabs your attention. It’s not just a museum, it feels like a journey into the mind of a true visionary artist. My wife and I kept pointing things out to each other, completely amazed by the level of detail and imagination. If you’re anywhere near Gruyères, this place is worth going out of your way for – unforgettable and one of a kind.

We had the most exciting time visiting this incredible museum with its extensive collection of artwork from HR Gigger. There are many exhibition rooms that we found very exciting to discover, my very favorite is a large table with high backed throne like chairs and life size sculpture of the Alien. Photos without flash are allowed.

Who would ever expect to find a sci-fi museum in the middle of a rural village best known for its cheese? And yet — there it is: the H. R. Giger Museum, showcasing the visionary works that earned him an Academy Award. Truly unique — weird and captivating at once — and absolutely worth a visit, especially set against the stunning panorama of Gruyères with its charming old town, castle and sweeping mountain views. PS: Don’t miss having a drink in the iconic bar just across from the museum.

If you like the artist who's artwork inspired the Xenomorph from the "Alien" franchise of movies then this is the museum for you. This covers all of HR Geiger's work not just the Xenomophs but other movies such as Species, as well as supernatural themes such as Satanic and magic based themes Due to this I would say personally that I wouldn't take anybody under 15 into the museum as I was made uncomfortable from some of the artwork and I am in my middle age and thought I was opened minded This art gallery is on 4 floors and while they will help you as much as they can to get around the museum, the village is medieval and very hilly so be advised that if you are like me with reduced mobility you may need to give yourself extra time The cost is reasonable at 12.50 swiss francs and you can't order advance tickets but due to the popularity of the village from tour groups get there as early as you can to avoid queues

Friendly staff and good music, drinks are a little expensive but everyone expected because the hype of the movie. Nice environment, good for a drink after knowing the village

La Maison du Gruyère is a must-visit in the region! You learn how Gruyère cheese is made, see the process up close, and taste some of the best cheese you’ll ever have. Quirky, fun, and hands-on (perfect for a tasty, memorable experience).

Visited La Maison de Gruyère — a must for any cheese lover like me! 🧀 Enjoyed the self-guided tour and learning about the unique process behind this famous Swiss cheese. Ended the visit perfectly with a delicious Gruyère fondue in the café. Simply unforgettable. 🇨🇭✨

La Maison du Gruyère is a charming stop if you’re visiting the Gruyères region. The self-guided tour is short but informative, giving a nice overview of how the famous Gruyère cheese is made. You can see the production process through glass windows (especially interesting if you go in the morning when cheese is being made), and the free audio guide adds good context in multiple languages. You’re given cheese samples at different stages of aging, which is a nice touch. The interactive parts are kid-friendly and engaging, and the gift shop offers a wide range of local cheeses and souvenirs at reasonable prices. However, the experience is more educational than hands-on, so don’t expect to make your own cheese or interact with the cheesemakers. Still, it’s a great stop for an hour or so, especially if combined with the nearby Gruyères Castle or the chocolate factory in Broc. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Great experience! The food was traditional Swiss fondue. It was served with bread and potatoes that made a perfect pairing. If you dont like cheese this is definitely not the place for you. While the cheese is very good it can become a bit of a heavy meal. Next to the restaurant you could see where they keep all the cheese. This was such a cool thing to see. The gift shop was great too! They had lots of Swiss chocolate, cheese and kitchen tools.

The tour was very much shorter than expected. although very informational, and quite entertaining, I felt it went by too quickly. They gave us cheese to try before we started our tour, and boy was it delicious. We are glad we did it, and would recommend it to anyone! The cheese will not disappoint

Love their cheese! Kids had a great time in the park next to their restaurant's outdoor seating. We ordered ice cream and it was delicious! Very cute items in their shopping area. Great wine, too!

Wonderful museum that I enjoyed more than anticipated! The metal canisters contain the different elements that cows eat and you can smell them! The aromas range from flowers, to grass, to herbs... Amazing! After smelling them I was able to identify a few in the samples of cheese given on entry!

Well maintained castle, modestly furnished, with a collection of interesting frescoes and murals. Strategically built on a small island, it used both the Lake Geneva and a moat created between the island and the mainland for defense. Our group had arrived in the late afternoon just in time to enjoy free wine tasting of some local wines, then proceeded to explore the medieval halls and underground chambers. The view from some rooms onto the lake and the Alps is stunning. It is the most visited monument in Switzerland.

This lakeside Castle with breathtaking view was stunning, pictures didn't do it justice. Its magical setting made it one of Switzerland’s most enchanting landmarks. I fully enjoyed my visit, highly recommend.

Château de Chillon is actually really big to explore, especially with the guided map they provide you. I was so tired, a lot of exploring new rooms that never seem like it would end. If you didn’t know, this castle inspired Prince Eric’s in The Little Mermaid. You can hear tons of water sounds by the prison area. It was relative peaceful for me as there weren’t much crowds and kids, so sometimes I got to explore rooms alone.

Beautiful castle (Little Mermaid was inspired on it) with lots of history. I really recommend taking the audio guide which is super complete. It lets you wonder alone around the castle which is a magical experience. The castle is in great conservation, and the dungeons are particularly beautiful. Would recommend this visit if you’re around. You can buy tickets directly upon arrival, and the audio guide takes like 2h to complete

The best view I’ve had from any castle I’ve visited so far. The castle is beautifully preserved, with authentic medieval furnishings that clearly took great effort to maintain. It’s generously open to the public, with access to nearly every corner—even up the creaky wooden staircases, which add to the sense of stepping back in time. Free entry for Swiss pass holders. Two hours or longer is needed.

Fascinating experience. We spent several hours wandering through the castle. The careful preservation of this site allows an understanding of history, with excellent access to all areas both indoors and outdoors and detailed information boards throughout. It is also a lovely lakeside walk from Montreux (after ferry from Lausanne) and a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating is opposite. A truly wonderful morning.

Chillon Castle is a medieval island castle located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, near Montreux. It is the most visited historic monument in Switzerland. Come for their nice history and good lake views, indeed very photo worthy! After all it’s free with SWISS TRAVEL PASS.

An unforgettable way to experience the beauty of Switzerland! The Golden Pass railway is not only incredibly scenic—offering sweeping views of lakes, mountains, and charming villages—but also a practical and comfortable way to travel between regions. The journey is smooth, the trains are clean and well-maintained, and the panoramic windows make it feel like you’re gliding through a postcard. A must-do for anyone visiting Switzerland!

Loved the experience, and the Prestige section was a special treat. But they should give some thought to rearranging the layout a bit as you certainly can't use much of the deluxe chair features since you're totally constrained by the folks across from you in the four-Plex sections. Do yourself a favor and pick a seat from the single row sections - even if that means splitting up your party. Also, could really use some cupholders and places to stash your phones/cameras besides your lap or behind the front and back seats.

The Golden Pass Railway is a spectacular journey through Switzerland’s stunning landscapes, and using the First Class Swiss Travel Pass made it even more worthwhile. The flexibility to hop on and off as you please allows you to explore more destinations at your own pace. What truly impressed me is Switzerland’s transport system—it’s incredibly well-connected across boats, trams, trains, and buses. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently, making travel seamless and enjoyable. This review is based entirely on my personal experience, with no financial or personal interest in the service provider—just genuine appreciation for a world-class travel system. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland!

The GoldenPass Belle Époque ride was an absolute highlight of our trip. The vintage-style carriages, elegant interiors, and large windows created a charming and nostalgic atmosphere from the moment we boarded. The scenic journey was stunning throughout, offering beautiful views of lakes, mountains, and picturesque Swiss villages. Everything about the ride felt comfortable and memorable. If there’s one thing that could make the experience even better, it would be having a restaurant or dining carriage on board. Enjoying a proper meal while taking in the breathtaking scenery would elevate the journey to another level. Overall, a lovely and highly recommended experience for anyone travelling through Switzerland!

A memorable ride with endless magnificent scenery. The Prestige seat was absolutely worth it. Highly recommended, be sure to book in advance.

Really nice and smooth ride. The beauty of the sights you see really does feel like the time flies. I highly recommend reseving a seat, and even though all views are breathtaking, may be the right side of the train was of my preference. We traveled from Interlaken to Montreux, approximately 3,5 hours, and it felt like no other train ride before. Definitely a must.

I did the entire Golden Pass train journey from Interlaken ost to Montreaux. While the train with huge windows is great, the best panoramic views are only between Gstaad and Montreaux. This panoramic train is included in Swiss Travel Pass. Since I did my journey on a weekday during spring season in April, I did not reserve my seat and was able to get a very good seat. However, I strongly recommend seat booking if traveling during peak summer season.

This is a small (but free) museum housed in the Montreux Casino building, telling the story of Queen, who recorded many of their albums in this studio, which they owned for part of their music career. Visit definitely recommended for Queen or Freddie fans (but not only). Visitors even get to "mix" a couple of songs, which I found quite fun. The experience feels very special and intimate, so if you have an hour while in Montreux, give it a go!

A wonderful place not only for Queen fans but for any music lover. You can really feel that something magical happened here. My favorite part was the mixing console room, where you can mix Queen songs yourself — such a cool experience! And of course, hand written song lyrics! A big plus is that entry is free. And there were very few people when we visited in the morning. It’s a pity they didn’t sell any Queen merchandise — I was hoping to buy a few interesting items. There was also a pleasant surprise: upstairs there’s a piano, and our son was allowed to play it for a bit — he was thrilled!

Excellent and very informative tribute to the wonderful band Queen, free entry with opportunity to make donations to the Mercury Phoenix Trust. Very small and quickly filled up, amazing, genuine costumes of the late great Freddie Mercury. You can also leave personal messages as you enter, also: try your hand at mixing the original song mother love on the interactive mixing console.

I stood where Freddie stood recording with the QUEEN their last song so wonderful to be experience that. I tried also mixing a song while recording which is one of the videos that I will show here. Hope you enjoy if you are in Montruex, Switzerland this is a must see. It is inside the Casino.

It’s a must visit for anyone who visits Montreux and is a fan of Queen. There are handwritten lyrics by Freddie and some really cool iconic merch! It is free to enter (no tickets required)

A must stop if you're a Queen fan. There was a ton of memorabilia in a small area, but most fascinating for me was the plaque showing were Freddie Mercury was standing when he recorded his last songs. As a music fan I could feel the energy in the room. It is a free museum, so they could have made it less impressive and I think people would not complain, but it is really well done with their limited space and a worthwhile bucket list item for Queen fans, or just music fans in general. Plus it's a beautiful area and you can see why anyone would like to spend time there. Just to read the history of the band and the building are worth it. IMO, the studio itself is the most amazing thing, this is where the art happened for so many famous songs. If you don't get that maybe you're not the Queen fan you think you are. People complaining about the price? It's free and only asks for donations for the Mercury Phoenix Trust to research AIDS treatment. If the review complains about parking costs, I recommend the Forum Mall less than 5 minutes walk away, or look for the two hour pay parking near the area. If you're parking in the casino and just going to the museum, you might feel you're paying too much.

It was very fun with free entrance. You can really feel Queen vibe. It is located inside the casino .It takes less than 20 minutes to explore it and don't miss it I really recommend it.There is a good restraint inside the casino As well if you like fancy foods

magnificent views and cotrast of flowers, lake and mountains

Most beautiful walk along the Lake Geneva, with colorful displays of fragrant flowers and shrubs. Among these flowers are scattered statues of animals, children, sports personalities and classical composers, some large, some small, but all just beautiful.

Lake Geneva is pure magic — one of the most breathtaking places my heart has ever discovered. It’s not just the largest lake in Switzerland; it’s a living masterpiece where nature and human charm blend seamlessly. The majestic mountains rising in the distance, the deep, shimmering waters, and the graceful towns and endless vineyards around the shore create a feeling as if you’ve wandered into a dream. I'll never forget the quiet evening walks when the lake reflected the sunset like a giant mirror. Whether you're looking for peaceful moments to breathe in beauty, or adventures across charming town Montreux, Lake Geneva welcomes you with open arms. It’s a place that gently touches your soul, leaving you inspired, restored, and longing to return❤️

Wonderful path surrounded by trees, flowers, plant and art.

The Montreux promenade is absolutely stunning — a peaceful walkway along Lake Geneva lined with colorful flowers, palm trees, and sculptures. The views of the Alps across the lake are breathtaking, especially during sunset. There are plenty of benches, cafés, and ice cream spots along the way, making it perfect for families and couples alike. A relaxing and unforgettable experience — one of the most beautiful promenades in Switzerland

Doesn't matter what time of the day or what day of the year...if you are in Montreux, you just have to take a nice leisurely stroll along the lake. The place is always breathtakingly beautiful and it is peaceful despite being full of tourists and locals. There are many things to see along the promenade along with many restaurants and shops.

It's such a beautiful place to stroll down and enjoy the views of the lake. We weren't there during clear skies and it was still so so beautiful! The flowers were blooming and so many varieties, it was really a treat. Would recommend coming during Sunday, just a short train ride (not even an hour) from Geneva. Definitely a nice change from the shops and city life!

🌟 A Must-Visit Tribute to a Legend 🌟 The Freddie Mercury Statue in Montreux is an iconic landmark that beautifully captures the spirit of the legendary Queen frontman. Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Geneva and the snow-capped Alps, the location is both peaceful and inspiring—exactly the kind of place you’d imagine Freddie loving. 📍 Location & Reachability The statue is located right on the lake promenade, in front of the Montreux Market Square, making it incredibly easy to find. It’s just a short walk from the Montreux train station (less than 10 minutes), and the promenade itself is a lovely walk filled with flowers, public art, and lake views. 🎶 Experience As a fan, it’s a surreal and emotional experience to stand in front of the statue with Freddie's music often playing nearby. The area is well-maintained and open to the public all day, making it a great stop whether you’re exploring Montreux or just passing through. 📸 Photo Tip Sunset is the best time to visit for photos—the golden light on the lake with Freddie’s silhouette makes for a perfect shot! Overall, this is a beautiful, easy-to-reach place that honors a musical legend in the most serene and scenic way possible. Whether you're a die-hard Queen fan or just appreciate good music and views, it’s absolutely worth a visit!

We arrived from Milan Sept 6, 2025 just in time for the 3 days Freddie Mercury birthday celebration. I enjoyed the celebration right there in Lake Leman so happy to celebrate 🥳 his birthday and experience where he once stood. The museum dedicated to Queen is just 200 meters from his statue.

Enjoyed the walk around Lake Geneva, admiring the many statues, small or lifesize. The iconic one of Freddie Mercury was like icing on a cake. However I do wish someone would clean up the statue once in a while, there is just too much junk hanging on him and around him as gifts from well meaning fans.

When in Rome...er, Montreux. Worth a visit for a photo or two if you've got the time. And there's a gelateria just a block away! Hang out on/near the lake right there at the coolest public bench circle ever made, then take a stroll along the lake - preferably near sunset.

As a lifetime fan of Freddie, I took a 4 hour detour, just to go and pay respect to the greatest singer and entertainer if all time. He has a beautiful spot with a great view of the lake. I'm sure he would have loved it.

The great representation of a Titan of music. A little hard to get a great photo as they were doing some construction around the area. At one point, he even had a do not cross tape wrapped around 1 foot as they made a fence to do some work on the viewing platform for the lake. I did manage to get one or two good shots. If you can get a picture of him from the side with the mountains and the lake on a nice day it is very breathtaking in a view. I’m sure he appreciated when he was in town to record music.

Statue of Freddie Mercury (Real name: Farrukh Bulsara) was a British singer and songwriter who achieved global fame as the lead vocalist and pianist of the rock band Queen. This statue is a tribute to him and serves as a memory of the days of his life he spent in Montreaux, Switzerland. The location is also stunning alongside Montreaux promenade. Tip: Don't forget to visit his recording studio in Montreaux. Search on google maps: Queen Studio Experience. Entry is free.

This is hotel located on a large plot of land and composed of an 19 th century impressive older building with reception area and restaurants, which was complemented with a new semi circle extension in which the bedrooms are located. The outside gives a mixed feeling: an impressive entry to the entrance building, while garden and parking lots are looking messy and not maintained. The reception staff is very friendly and welcoming and provided all info that we wished for. A special thanks to Johnny for his great service and welcome. The rooms are of a normal size and are well equipped with a good bathroom. Minibar is stocked quite limited. From the room you have access to the hotel pool, but more importantly any hotel guests have free access through there own entry to the thermal pools and spa. This is a great benefit of staying at this hotel. Breakfast is served in the historical building in a large room. The breakfast offers the usual fare although there was no mention of eggs or omelets etc. When asked we were provided with them. The rooms was quite full with guests and the staff had to work hard to arrange and clear the tables and refill the buffet. The hotel is between a 3 and 4 star hotel category, and would need some upgrading in the areas commented upon above. Nevertheless, the hotel is fairly priced and overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel, the access to the thermal pools and the excellent service from Johnny.

Very beautiful hotel but majority of the thermal baths are closed. Lockers, showers and toilets are in temporary containers. But worst of all the water is so cold. I have been many outdoor pools in Switzerland even on colder days but don’t remember being this cold anywhere.

The bath is under construction with only two outdoor pools and a Sauna container open. Changing rooms are in temporary containers. They still charge CHF 25.- per adults which is grossly overcharged for the experienced offered.

Don’t waste your time and money to go there. First of all, they did not even bother to hide the construction site right in fron of the pool. Second of all, the showers were dirty and no soap or anything. It is extremely basic and boring place, a simple pool with luke warm water and a tiny sauna where you have to awkawardly look at the people swimming in the pool in front of you, at least turn the sauna around to be able to look at the park. I thought in Switzerland there are better service conditions and more pleasant atmosphere in places like this, but no, this felt like going to the pool in a middle sized city in 3rd world country in the 60’s or something. There are way better baths in Switzerland, still not great, but much better. Very dissapponted, sorry, this is an honest opinion.

My family and I just returned from our stay at Grand Hotel de Bains in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland. I must say that it is an awesome hotel, with amazingly helpful staff—everyone at the front desk spoke English fluently—which was great for us. The hotel itself is lovely—not particularly modern (but that’s part of the charm)—one of the reasons I love Switzerland! A lovely breakfast buffet is included each morning—which is nice. Also, each of our rooms had a balcony—overlooking the pools and a view of mountains in the backdrop (breathtaking). By far, my favorite part of our stay was the hot/thermal pools. The hotel has two massive outdoor thermal pools and one indoor thermal pool (which happen to be open to the public—for a fee). Hotel guests have access to these three pools, but also have access to a smaller private pool (picture of private pool posted). The pools are so very relaxing. As an added bonus, we were there at the same time the Austin Healy classic car show was happening. The cars were absolutely spectacular—seeing close to a hundred of these lovely cars every morning was a treat! Overall, an awesome experience.

Enjoyed the stay - can't complain one bit - Thermal pools were amazing a comfortable 32' while it was snowing 😂

Currently undergoing building work (as many others have said) but there are still two nice outdoor heated pools available - one warmer than the other - and a sauna. Welcoming to all ages - my 2 year old had a great time!

I highly recommend talking a walk up through the old town to the cathedral. It's free, and a beautiful building with lots to see. You'll also get some great views of Lausanne from the front. If you want even better views you can pay a small fee and climb the bell-tower. This gives you 360 degree views of the city. Absolutely epic on a clear day. It's not for the faint-hearted or those with vertigo. Also not for those with major mobility problems. I use a walking stick due to bone spurs in my ankle and I made it OK. Just had to take it a bit slower.

Impressive cathedral with wonderful views of the town. A bit of a climb up steps if one takes the wrong route, but in any case well worth a visit. Large, quiet, peaceful, stained glass, statues, carvings, small and unobtrusive gift shop. Not overly commercial, and free to enter, as it should be but in some churches is not. Panoramic views of the town below.

One of the most impressive landmarks in Lausanne. The Gothic architecture is stunning, especially the stained glass windows that create a magical atmosphere when the sunlight shines through. Located on a hill, the cathedral also offers beautiful views of the city. Climbing the tower stairs can be a bit tiring, but the panoramic view at the top is absolutely worth it. A perfect mix of history, architecture, and scenery

Lausanne Cathedral is a stunning masterpiece of Gothic architecture with breathtaking views over the city and Lake Geneva. The interior’s stained glass and grand organ are awe-inspiring. Climb the tower for panoramic sights—it’s worth every step. A must-visit landmark rich in history and beauty.

A must-visit gem in Lausanne! This Gothic cathedral, dating back to the 12th century, offers stunning architecture and panoramic views of the city, Lake Geneva, and the Alps. Climbing the belfry is worth the minimal fee for the breathtaking scenery. Inside, the grand organ is a marvel, and the nightly tradition of the watchman announcing the hour adds a unique touch. Don't miss exploring the charming old town surrounding the cathedral. Highly recommended for history and architecture enthusiasts!

The beautiful Gothic cathedral of Lausanne is a must visit place when in this lovely Swiss city. The stained glass is magnificent, as is the architecture and the cathedral’s commanding location above the ancient city centre. Not to be missed….

Lausanne Cathedral is a stunning Gothic masterpiece. Its intricate facade and soaring interior inspire awe, while the serene ambiance invites reflection. The view from the tower is breathtaking. A must-see for its architectural beauty and historical significance.

We were here in early July and it was a nice walk along the lake to this museum perched on a small hill in the middle of a lovely park. Please visit the grounds even if you do not step inside the museum. Nice views over the lake and pleasant outdoor Olympic related art and information sprinkled through the outdoor grounds and all of this is free to access. Inside it is a well curated place with lots of information for an Olympics fan. We did it all in about 2 hours. The gift shop is where you buy the entrance tickets. Pro tip: if you do have a ticket and are there during the daytime, you do NOT need a lunch reservation to simply have a drink on their glorious outdoor terrace at the restaurant on the top floor. We just asked the host if we could sit outside for a drink and he enthusiastically said of course! What views!!! Drinks were not cheap but not more expensive than any other restaurant. So if you are curious and didn’t make a lunch reservation, please do stop by and see if you can snag a seat outside. The staff were kind and helpful.

It is obviously a must visit museum if you are in the Olympic capital Lausanne. Everything is very well presented. I particularly love the video clips introducing every Olympic Games through the years, as every clip begins with important events of that year. I’d very much love to finish them all but my schedule doesn’t allow me to. All the collections are inspiring and hold collective memories of people from all over the world, some of which remind me of the days when I was little and watched on TV the Olympic Games with my father. The -1 floor is fun. View of the lake from the terrace of the restaurant is stunning. Free access for Swiss pass holders.

Very nice. We were desperately looking for a clean bathroom that’s also free lol. It’s nice to see the poster of the Beijing Olympic in 2008. Unfortunately we only found the poster card but not many other souvenirs options such as fridge magnet for the Beijing Olympic.

Free admission with the Lausanne city pass. Cool exhibition showcasing the history of the Olympics from ancient times, all the way through to 2026. Highlights include a section about art and design of the posters and iconography of the Olympics, as well as a well rounded gift shop with good items at all price ranges

Olympics museum is a must visit place for all Olympic fans. The location is stunning on the shores of lake Geneva in Lausanne. Infrastructure of museum is excellent with free locker rooms for storage. You study entire history of Olympics from its origin in Greece to revival of modern Olympics. There are archives of summer and winter Olympic games, mascots and models of all Olympic torches, Olympic uniforms etc. The museum used excellent multimedia to present everything. There are videos on projector screen which display opening ceremonies of all Olympic seasons. However, Olympics museum has lots of scope for expansion considering its huge space. You can have interactive games like FIFA museum in Zurich. A Hall of Fame can also be made featuring most celebrated Olympians of all times like Michael Phelps. A special section for upcoming Olympics can also be done. Hope to see these updates with passing time. Entry to Olympics museum is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

This museum is located facing Lausanne (Geneva)Lake with a nice park in front and is very well connected through road and metro rail network. It is a fantastic audio visual experience indoor as well out door and must see for tourists. Plan to spend at least 2 hours here and you will cherish it.

We spent there more than 2 hours. Interactive, with plenty of interesting information, surrounded by a nice park, with a great view and even access to a beach. If you are in Lausanne, must visit. Tickets are 20 CHF per person, no needed to buy in advance.

Must see for art lovers! I didn't take a lot of pics, merely enjoyed and bought a book (supports!). In the USA, I guess we call this folk art? The collection is VERY diverse. The Art Brut is now one of my favorite museums in the world.

Great artists could come from anywhere. This is a museum that offers a very different experience. The majority of museums focus on preserving the conventional mainstream arts or a piece of noteworthy history. This one and its collections make you realize that mental or physical illness a lot of people endure or ordinary lives we live do not diminish what’s pure in (probably all of) us.

Very well curated museum showcasing work from artists society doesn't deem important. Free admission with the Lausanne city pass. Art is thought provoking and facilities are well managed.

Moving and touching. You could feel the emotional and mental state of the artists through their work. I absolutely suggest it if anyone finds themselves in Lausanne. It also had a 3 day pass with 2 more museums. Excellent experience.

Really interesting visit if not a little disturbing at times 🤔

Focuses on artists without formal artistic training, many of them from the margins of society. The resulting art is fresh and captivating. This is one of the most exciting museums that I have visited.

Wonderful museum with a great collection of Art Brut, rich in individuality and depth. Worth visiting and revisiting. Friendly and helpful staff, special thanks to Julia for helping me find my lost item!

Great place to spend some leisure time here.. quite a lot of tiny things to do here especially for kids and family.. you can just sit around and soak in the beauty of lake Geneve... don't miss this..

Clean and very convenient. Easy access to the port and parks. Pricing is cumulative in 20-30 minute increments, so you end up paying 4CHF for 40 minutes.

None of the electric charging machines are operational. None working.

Parking was fine. Charging station couldn't be used with two different cards.

Really bad experience. Bad organised, had to wait a lot till we found a place and to go out from the parking ,it took an hour, because it id really bad organised. Do not recommend it at all. The worst experience with a car park ever for my 43 years .

Port D'Ouchy itself is a magnificent place. We went on a Sunday-- so clean, serene, the views of Geneva Lake and nearby France are spectacular. There is also a park and a nice view of Chateau D'Ouchy from behind. Good for picnics.

Pretty big underground parking lot near lake which should be your first destination during exploring Lausanne. I personally like LED lights which indicates free or occupied parking space. This parking isn't free, but this is common thing in Switzerland.

Booked our 3yr old toddler in a few months back. Great communication from Ellie in the team all the way through to before just first lesson. So many questions for us that they happily answered. He then met Francois. Despite a few tears at the start he was quickly off exploring and boarding. Beaming from ear to ear at the drop off. For the next few days, everyone in Mint uniform has became a best friend to him, waving when he points them out to us. He has had a great time boarding and learning new things as well as having adventures on the chair lifts. He wants to come back for more lessons with Francois and next year I will have a few with Mint as well.

Technical Performance Course with MINT Snowboarding My boys (now 13 and 15) have been having lessons with MINT most seasons since they were just 4 and 6 years old, so we’ve known and trusted this incredible team for years. This season, I joined my 15 year old on the Technical Performance course and it turned out to be one of the best snowboarding experiences we’ve ever had. I’m an experienced boarder, but I had never ventured in the snow park. I really wanted to push my riding to the next level, and this course delivered exactly that. The coaching was technical, focused, and perfectly tailored to each rider. We covered everything from carving and torsional flex to steeper terrain, off-piste control, and freestyle, with helpful video feedback throughout the week. We were lucky to have two brilliant instructors Jorge and Janet who each brought their own unique style to the course. Jorge’s energy and technical insight were inspiring, while Janet’s calm, precise coaching helped us really lock in key improvements. It was great to experience both their teaching styles they complemented each other so well. Safe to say, my son was exceptional when it came to freestyle he was flying through the park, and learning alongside him really pushed me too. We spent half our mornings in the snow park, starting on the small jumps, part way through the 1st session my son moved onto the medium size jumps and by second day so was. Part way through the week we were confidently hitting and landing the middle-sized ones all day long. I didn’t expect to enjoy the park as much as I did, but I absolutely loved it. MINT really is the premier snowboard school in Europe, they’ve built an incredible reputation for a reason. From age 3 to adult, their coaching system and team of instructors are second to none. I wouldn’t recommend any other snowboard school. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to fine-tune advanced skills, MINT is simply the best. Huge thanks again to the whole team. we’ll definitely be back.

We decided we wanted to take the twins (6yrs) for their first trip to the mountains this winter, and learn to snowboard. We researched all the schools in Europe and time and time again we were drawn back to Mint. The reviews were phenomenal and the vibe we felt from their social was exactly what we wanted. We came to Avoriaz for Mint, and wow, it was the best decision we made. Francois their instructor was incredible, they both loved him, and he knew exactly how to get the best out of their very different personalities. We genuinely couldn’t have found a better fit, and could not believe the improvements seen in just 3 lessons! We will be making Mint and Francois a firm feature in our annual calendar! Thank you Francois and Mint for making their first time to the snow/mountains and epic one!

Massive thank you to Tammy and the rest of the Mint crew for such an awesome week on the slopes. I did the off piste course and we were lucky enough to be treated to a new adventure every day! Tammy provided lots of guidance and definitely feel I came away a better boarder. We had a great group so lots of fun was had!! Can’t wait for next season!

Such a fantastic week. I loved everything about it. Tammy’s coaching was excellent. She made use of every moment we had on the slopes and covered so much ground in one week. The technical skills we learned improved our riding in a variety of terrain and conditions. We had a blast in every lesson whether we were on the piste, gaining confidence in the park or riding powder. The chalet was really nice and the hosts were amazing. The yoga sessions with Katie were really good too. I feel so lucky to have been part of this camp. Everybody was so friendly, encouraging and fun to hang out with. I made some really good friends and look forward to snowboarding with them and Mint again soon!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! The camps are amazing combined with Treeline. The instructor was really patient and gave me so much confidence on the slopes. DEFINITELY coming back next year 🏂🤩💫

Had a fabulous week with Iban, In a group of 3 ,we all said we learnt so much! Top Instructor and always a lovely smile. Definitely recommend and would use again.

This was only the second time we have been skiing, having gone in February 2024 but not to Morzine. Sadly today (3rd January 2025) was our last day skiing for this holiday. We have had daily lessons for the last week - 1 instructor for my wife and myself and one for our teenage girls - they are way better than us parents! Tom, was tasked with teaching us oldies and Kate the girls. To say they were great just doesn't seem sufficient. They both quickly understood our relative levels and what we needed and were brilliant at keeping the lessons fun and at the right level. By the end of the week the girls were off piste skiing and doing 360 spins and skiing backwards! My wife and I ... were not doing these things ... but we were able to ski around with total confidence (and if we do say so ourselves some ok technique!) and have just a lovely time on some beautiful runs. We will most definitely be coming back to Morzine and we will absolutely be booking again with British Alpine Ski School. All of the Bass employees seemed great but as we got to know Tom and Kate a little bit more we do have a particular soft spot for them. And finally a quick mention to Jo in their head office. She is so helpful with the booking process and made things so simple and made you feel like a real person. An absolute star. As you can tell I can't recommend BASS enough... even if I couldn't do 360 degree spins ... but maybe next time!

I can honestly say we had one of the best experience with BASS Les Gets that we have ever had with any company. It was our first time skiing with our young girls and from the support and advice during the booking process through to the AMAZING instructor we had we could not have wished for more! It made the trip so much more enjoyable for the whole family and I would 100% recommend them to anyone considering a ski school in France. Thank you and see you next year.

Both my individual and group lessons with BASS were excellent and I would highly recommend them. They keep their class sizes small and this meant that I got lots of very individualised feedback from highly experienced and expert instructors, even in a group lesson. The instructors tailored the lessons to meet the varied needs of everyone in the group and made sure everyone had an enjoyable time. This makes it well worth the slightly higher cost than other companies in Morzine because you develop much more quickly across a smaller number of lessons.

I recently had the pleasure of taking ski lessons in Les Gets with instructors Ed and Jaz, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the start, their energy, passion, and enthusiasm for skiing were absolutely contagious. Their love for the sport was evident, and it made the whole experience incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Having not skied for a very long time, I was initially quite nervous, but their positive attitude and encouraging approach made all the difference. They had a great way of boosting confidence, ensuring that every step of the lesson felt like progress rather than pressure. The teaching style is adaptable, adjusting to your needs and skill level, which made learning both effective and loads of fun. Beyond their excellent instruction, Ed and Jaz were punctual(unlike me), professional, and incredibly helpful. Their ability to break down techniques in an easy-to-understand way while keeping the atmosphere light and fun made every lesson a highlight of my trip. If you’re looking for ski instructors who bring skill, enthusiasm, and a genuinely supportive teaching style, Edward and Jaz are an outstanding choice. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Had a fantastic experience with BASS, the booking process with Jo was really smooth and a special thank you goes to Tom my instructor. I began the week barely able to turn on green runs without falling over and ended confidently skiing a red run, the tuition was brilliant throughout and he really took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses and build up my confidence. Can't recommend them highly enough and I wouldn't hesitate to book again on my next visit to Morzine.

BASS is the bomb. I only ever skied once in my life before (which was not a great experience) and within four days of adult group lessons I was comfortable going down blue pistes !!! The groups are small and the instructors communicated with one another to make sure that everyone was comfortable at their levels. My instructor Tom Watts was amazing: patient, kind and knew well when it was time to take it to the next level. Group lessons can be frustrating when different levels and learners are put together, but this school has a fantastic system to cater to everyone's needs and learning goals. Super experience !!!!!

We have been using Bass for a few years now for our girls; now 6 and 7. Hands down the best ski school for children (we have also tried others). Instructors are kind, credible and deliver great coaching. Our children always enjoy the experience. In Val both Luke and Dave have been exceptionally good.

"It looks nice, it’s interesting. However, after having been in Lucerne, I think it set the bar quite high. Anyway, for those who might be passing through Geneva, it’s nice to take a walk around, maybe grab a coffee on the go, and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere in the area."

Even on a cloudy day in October it is a magical place, the sculptures, chateaus, buildings and gardens and vineyards dotted along the lake are fantastic. Great place to walk and just jump back on the train when you have finished your walk. You can even catch a ferry over to France or along the lake but the ones that go along the lake only run in high season. The water is crystal clear and there are lots of places you can swim.

Beautiful lake to relax and see.

One of the best days of last October. Lake Geneva is a magical place where time seems to stop. The mountains are reflected in the water, like in a mirror, and a leisurely walk along the embankment gives inspiration and fills with calm. The atmosphere is like on a wonderful postcard, only you are inside it) The photos turned out like from a magazine. A real place of power! An incredible experience, you want to go back there again and again!

Beautiful lake framed by the Swiss Alps. Don’t miss the Charles Chaplain museum in Vevey.

Great Lake, like the lake of Constance but in premium.

Beautiful lake. Though a very different city than rest of the Switzerland. Had a great bit of french touch, and landscape wise it was also different from typical swiss cities

This is the tourism office where you can request for any information and help that you need. Yvoire is a lovely place and was really a super fun and well spent day. I will highly recommend a visit here. Very beautiful with the cobblestone roads, stone and wood houses with beautiful flowers everywhere. Totally fantastic, a place out of a medieval fairytale!

Beautiful Yvoire, a must see village in France

A city of medieval where wood, stone and flowers meet. You can be lost in the history while you wander in its tiny historical streets. I would like to take pictures of its every single building, gardens and roads. I liked it too much. I highly recommend you to visit this beautiful place.

Yvoire is one of the most beautiful place I've seen around the Leman Lake. The car-free zone is wonderful, with lots of historical buildings.

A really big thank you for your recommendations and making our stay extra special🙂🙂🙂

Great place to visit and have a meal overlooking the medieval village or lake leman

Lovely town. Must see. great atmosphere.

Our visit to Yvoire was magical but the garden was the cherry on the top! We love botanical gardens and have visited many but this one is now our favourite. We asked one of the garderners a question. How old the apple trees were. He explained so much to us, were very grateful for the time he took to do this. Love the concept, layout and how it naturally flows to create a wonderful experience.

jardin des cinq sens is a very nice place to visit. There is a lot to learn about plant. The taste part of the visit is very interesting. I wish I can have some of the plants at home for cooking. Price is high but one can imagine the work to setup a garden like that.

Small, but very well maintained garden with different themes: touch, smell, taste, see and hear plants and fruits from all over the world! A beautiful experience!

Well taken care of, shaped as a guided labyrinth, interactive as you can touch, smell and taste some of the plants. Nevertheless quite small, and way too pricy (15 eur).

Even in cloudy weather and a bit of rain they were beautiful! You can do it solo, with friends or family and have an educational and fun time using all of the five senses. It took us about an hour to complete and we really took our time.

Lovely place and great atmosphere. All the restaurants are very pet friendly . The nature around its so beautiful. Can’t wait to come back

A beautiful little village/town. 1 day is enough but well worth a day trip

Great value for six people very reasonable Enjoy the restaurant, good n easy. Nice Swiss feel.

Dinner with team after congres day. 2 had filets de perche this fish filets were baked with a tartare sauce nothing to have a waw feeling. 1 penne ciocarna ( see picture) also no real wow effect missong of spices and 1 spaghetti fruits de mer seems was ok. white swiss wine could be better. Service 2 people avetage. Thats why give a 3

Really good pizza, I recommend the « jet d’eau pizza » Only bad fact is that the crust was too thin.

Staff were really friendly and accommodating despite a language barrier. I was even given a free salad! Food was some of the best me and my friends have ever had and is well priced. The restaurant atmosphere was incredible as well. We all agreed we would absolutely eat here again 👍

Had a wonderful lunch here! The waiters were very friendly, and the food was delicious and served quickly :) Very generous toppings on the pizza!

I am travelling for work. Great food and even better people. Seems like a family owned business. I had the pugliese pizza and was amazing. But hey!! Be careful with the spicy oil they offer 🥵very hot

The food was delicious and the waiters really helpful to translate to English for us. They even had a English menu. The place was warm and the pizza oven in the heart of the restaurant. It felt like an authentic Italian family business.

Nice place to swim, jump into Lake Geneva, play on kids playground and get food (fondu and more) and drinks. Parking is difficult though - - try the hotel garage a few blocks away. Cheap (2 Euros per person), yet if you leave, you'll have to pay to re-enter on the same day.

An exceptional place in the heart of Geneva city on the lake. Beach and lake swimming pool in summer and a fabulous steam bath and sauna in winter time. I can also highly recommend their restaurant with greate dishes and local specialtys in the very casual surrounding of the bath.

Such a lovely place to have lunch at! The queue was quite long over lunch time but super worth it. Delicious food plus amazing lake view with swans and ducks swimming around you. I had this amazing salmon salad that tasted fresh and sat on the deck so I can be closer to the nature. It was such a memorable lunch at Geneva lake! Also, the staff told me which food contains pork in case I don’t eat it. Very kind! 😊

Cheap to enter the area and a very accessible entrance to Lake Geneva. There were toilets, changing rooms and lockers available and space to enjoy a picnic. There was a slide, climbing area and diving board available for additional entertainment. There was also an area to buy food and drinks. We had a fun time there.

For only 2 euros, you can access the beach front and the bathrooms. I went in the morning when barely anyone was there and stayed all day. There was a mix of locals and tourists there. I was there alone, but it’s very safe and I could leave my things on the beach while I went swimming without fear of things being taken. There is a restaurant there, too.

Ask deep seek for a safe place for tourists to swim in Lake Geneva, suggested this beautiful place, confirmed on Google map & which had a 4.6 rating with more than 9000+ reviews. Rush over after checking in hotel & enjoyed a nice swim with family, with 2CHF entrance fee per person, plenty of changing room and toilet, good summer vibes. Managed to try the famous cheese fondue for about 27CHF. Highly recommended place if you want enjoy a summer swim in lake Geneva 👍

Amazing morning spent at this magical place. Food and atmosphere were divine, just wish I had brought my bathing suit!

Visiting L’Horloge Fleurie in Geneva was a wonderful experience! The flower clock is truly a masterpiece of art and nature combined. The design is beautiful, colorful, and always perfectly maintained. It’s located in a lovely park near the lake, making it a great spot for a relaxing walk or taking amazing photos. The flowers change with the seasons, so it always looks different and fresh every time you visit. It’s one of the most iconic landmarks in Geneva and a must-see for anyone visiting the city. A peaceful and charming place that perfectly represents Swiss precision and beauty.

The L’Horloge Fleurie (Geneva Flower Clock) is one of the city’s most charming landmarks, perfectly combining Swiss precision with natural beauty. Located in the English Garden (Jardin Anglais), the clock faces the main road, making it easily accessible as you stroll through the park or along the lakeside, close to the Jet d'Eau. What makes it special, is that the flowers change with every season. The city’s gardeners carefully redesign it throughout the year, ensuring it always reflects the colours and mood of the time — from bright spring tulips to autumn blooms with hundreds of seasonal flowers. Although it’s a popular attraction, it’s best to visit on a dull or overcast day when there are fewer tourists. That’s when you can truly appreciate the clock’s detail and take unobstructed photos without the usual crowds. The clock was created in 1955 as a tribute to Geneva’s long-standing tradition of watchmaking. Beneath the floral design lies a fully functional timepiece, powered by Swiss engineering and precision, symbolising the city’s harmony between nature and technology. It truly is a must-see — a living symbol of Geneva’s elegance, craftsmanship, and love of beauty.

This is one of the nice places you can visit and have your photo captured, having a beautiful memory that you've been to Geneva. I would recommend the sunset, where you can take a ride in the wheel to have glance at the beautiful view of seeing over the water and the city with pretty greenery. Feels like a illustration be Angelo himself. During the night the flower clock is well lit up and captures well, and a beautiful park being next to it, you can relax and enjoy the surrounding altogether as well. Very beautiful and calm place al together. (Don't forget to have glance at the memorial statues in vicinity as well)

I had a wonderful visit to L'Horloge Fleurie! 🌸 The flower clock was absolutely charming and so lovely to admire. 🤩 It's such a unique and delightful attraction, truly a beautiful sight. 🕰️ I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! 😊

L’Horloge Fleurie is one of Geneva’s most iconic landmarks. A must-see, especially considering Switzerland’s deep tradition of watchmaking – and in Geneva you’ll notice watches on every corner. The floral clock perfectly combines Swiss precision with natural beauty.

It is one of the most beautiful places in Geneva, with sunshine, the lake, possibly the tallest fountain in Central Europe, ferries, statues, and a Ferris wheel — it has everything, simply perfect.

I have seen many creative floral installations before, including floral sculptures and other well-known flower clocks. However, when I finally visited Geneva’s famous L’Horloge Fleurie (Flower Clock), I experienced a slight sense of disappointment - not because it lacks beauty, but rather because its reputation is so grand that it naturally raises expectations. To be fair, the clock’s design is intricate, and the vibrant flowers give it a sense of energy and elegance. Yet in reality, it is smaller in scale than I had imagined, which may feel a little underwhelming if one visits only for this landmark. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, there were only a few tourists around, which made the experience calm but also highlighted how modest the Flower Clock actually is. That said, if you see it as part of a leisurely walk along Lake Geneva, passing by after a meal or while enjoying the lakeside scenery, it can still be a pleasant and relaxing stop.

Impressive cathedral in the old town area with lots of period buildings around it. On a bit of a raised area but an easy walk up. Quiet, peaceful, can sit for as long as one likes. Free to enter, as it should be, but is not in some places. Different parts obviously built/added/repaired/rebuilt at different times, which is always interesting. Well worth a visit.

Undoubtedly, this is a majestic cathedral in the heart of Geneva, with stunning Gothic architecture and a historic stone façade. The church is very well preserved, and from its current state, you can almost imagine the grandeur it must have had 1,000 years ago. Inside, the serene atmosphere, detailed sculptures, and beautiful architectural features make it a remarkable place to explore. A must-visit for anyone interested in history or architecture.

Visiting St. Pierre Cathedral in Geneva was truly memorable. One of the highlights for me was climbing the 160 steps to the top of the tower. The stairwell is narrow and may be a little intimidating for some, but the effort is completely worth it. Once at the top, you’re rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Geneva and the surrounding area—perfect for photography enthusiasts. The cathedral also has a small shop where you can browse a selection of cards and postcards as a memento of your visit. Inside and out, the cathedral offers plenty of opportunities for taking beautiful photos, from its impressive architecture to the breathtaking vistas from the tower. Despite the slightly nerve-wracking climb, it’s an experience I’d highly recommend.

This cathedral is a highlight located in the center of Geneva's old town. The top offers a great view over the city and the lake. I recommend combining a visit with a walk to the beautiful nearby square "Place-Du-Bourg-de-Four" (my favourite place in old town). Take a break there for a snack and a drink. Enjoy!

I always try to visit at least one church during my travels, though sometimes it doesn’t work out. I’m so glad I made it to this cathedral—it was actually one of the reasons I wanted to visit Geneva in the first place. I’d heard about the 157-step spiral staircase, and let’s just say I realized how out of shape I was while climbing it! But I made it, and it was absolutely worth it. Such a beautiful piece of history to experience. The fee to go up is currently at 7chp.

The "Nothing to Photograph in ..." series has made its way to Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Genève, highlighting its serene interior and breathtaking views from the towers. I highly recommend exploring this historic gem. Follow me to discover your next destination.

Excellent 360° views of the city, lake & mountains. The stairs were in a very good condition compared to other church towers in Europe. The entrance price was included in our tourist city pass so it's a very much worthwhile visit.

Lovely beach on the side of lake Annecy. Quieter than some of the others. Shade under trees and great cafe. Easy (paid) parking.

Best beach I could find around lake Annecy. There is lots of shade, grass, toilet, small restaurant, little stream and more. The water is amazing especially when it's so hot. There were 3 lifeguards which was great. Recommend!

Such a little gem. Appears it's well known by the locals. You have the options of relaxed in the lake waters which was quite warm, or for younger children then can play in the nearby stream that helps feed the lake. You also have a small cafe that is reasonably priced for snacks and drinks. You can easily spend the whole afternoon here

Amazing lake .so beautiful .crystal clear water and mountains by the side .must give it a visit .we really enjoy this tour .must try the coffee over there with beautiful lake .loved it .highly recommended

Great beach to swim and paddle board from. Shade available from trees if needed and small bar / restaurant open all day. However above all a fantastic view.

We came in the summer of 2024, there are many visitors but still tolerable. The beach is beautiful and free/gratis. Some reviews said that it's a paid beach but we did not pay anything. It's also a supervised beach by guardians. The closest parking is a paid parking but we found another parking which was free, only 10 mins by walk. There is a small bar to buy drinks/food. Free toilets are also available near the area.

It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Alps. The view, the water, the shade from the trees, perfection.

Very cool stop along the road. Worth a quick visit. You can walk across or use the overlook.

Nice bit of engineering. The French sure do know how to build magnificent bridges. Good place to stop en route to Switzerland.

Free car park. Free admission. Beautiful views. Also nice place for a picnic.

A bridge what takes you back to historic times. It's an old bridge but it's condition is spotless. You can walk through it to the opposite side but don't look down if you are scared from heights :)

A beautiful bridge now reserved for cyclists and pedestrians only since the concrete bridge beside it was opened to traffic

The views are amazing! Nice place to take a photo on your way from/to Lake Annecy. There are lots of friendly people around but be careful of muggers at night.

Took a little detour to visit the bridges. Really impressive to look at and great views. Easily accessible and parking near by. Well worth a visit.
