Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Montreux, Canton of Vaud

October 10, 2021 Nicolette Lion

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.
