The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Montreux, Canton of Vaud

November 16, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Jazz aficionados know Montreux as the home of the famed jazz festival. And where else will you find a statue of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury? But even those who aren't music fans will find respite in this resort town on the Swiss Riviera: The wineries here are world renowned, the Chateau de Chillon is an impressive example of a medieval castle and the views of the Dents-du-Midi are breathtaking. Walk on the lake promenade, ride the cogwheel train or wander Old Montreux to taste its Edwardian flavor.

Freddie Mercury Statue

In 1996, five years after his death, a bronze statue was unveiled on the lakeshore. Having become a real place of pilgrimage for all his fans, the statue of Freddie Mercury is now an essential figure in the city of Montreux.

The Freddie Mercury Memorial is a beautiful tribute to a larger than life performer. He faces the lake and is beautiful (all times but especially) at sunset.

Corniche Lavaux Vineyards

Reviewed By beatrizm115 - Dortmund, Germany

Beautiful vineyards even during winter, it is worth it if you are in the region of Montreux. My friend took me there with her car and we had a beautiful view of the lake with the vineyards. I am sure it looks even more beautiful when the weather is clear and when they are more green. It was the first week of January.

Rochers-de-Naye

Hold your breath and board this train that climbs, climbs, and climbs some more. Nothing scares it, neither the steep slopes nor the snow. At the Rochers-de-Naye, at over 2,000 metres altitude, what amazing scenery! Lake Geneva in all its glory. Don’t leave the place without saying hello to the marmots, the mascot of the Alps. A tip: it is said that this is where the real Santa Claus spends the winter.

A classic Swiss train ride with spectacular views leading to the nostalgic summit building and small ski area. Rochers de Naye features beautiful hikes, Mongolian huts, marmot villages, an alpine garden and even Santa’s office depending on the season. A must visit if in the Montreux area. If the weather is clear the views are absolutely stunning.

Queen Studio Experience

Reviewed By Aesse62 - Crete, Greece

This was a real deep dive in Queen´s and in particular Freddie Mercury´s history. The band recorded seven Albums in this studio and you can sit in the original Control Room and even mix the lead voice with the other instruments. The last Freddie´s song he ever recorded was "Mother Love" and he was singing in the tiny Control Room of the Studios. You can mix this song and also "Made in Heaven". However, the original NEVE Mixer was unfortunately replaced with a plastic version of it. I think they should have kept the original mixer and sealed it to prevent visitors to touch it. Many costumes and instruments used by Queen in many concerts (including Live Aid) are also part of the museum. Roger Taylor and Brian May provide good explanations via video recording. You should not miss visiting the Queen Studio Experience!
