I came on Rick Steves recommendation and was glad I did, its worth the visit, as you do see art in a different form. The artists are from societies fringe with unfortunate childhood stories, criminal backgrounds, mental health challenges. Their artwork benefited both them and society , I am glad the curator had the foresight to collect their works and the presentation was well done and added to our appreciation of their works. I especially enjoyed the works of nature on the upperfloors. I understand the works are rotated and you might see something else entirely on each visit. If you go early they only charge half price. I was disappointed in their choice for pictures on posters sold as I felt they chose the craziest, work rather than the prettiest work, Some of the artwork looks like it could have been drawn by a first grader and some was truly outstanding. In all well presented, thought provoking and well done. No wifi, You have to put bags into lockers, there are clean bathrooms, staff was helpful and friendly

We organized a company outing with a caterer, privatizing the site. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I'm no pro in driving Formula 1 racing cars but the experience seemed very life-like, with four-point seat belts, vibrating seats that move horizontally and laterally, and impressive visuals; you can really get caught up in the action! It was a total hit and the evening was over too quicky. If you enjoy driving, a define must-try!

Reviewed By J M - Lausanne, Switzerland
I'm not sure why anyone would go out of their way to visit a convention centre? If you must, this isn't a bad one. It is new (as of 2014) and quite shiny. There are a lot of sharp angles. On a warm summer's day, if you use your imagination and look at it from a certain angle, it still looks nothing like the Opera House in Sydney.

Reviewed By Orcaorca - Switzerland
Dating from the period when the Romans occupied this area of the shores of Lac Leman, and situated very conveniently right by the passenger steamer docking jetty, and next door to one of the better restaurants in the area, this small and beautiful church is well worth a short visit to St Sulpice

This place offers great scenery, flowers and ambience. The numerous benches along the way make this an ideal picnic site and the art sculptures on the grounds offer an additional cultural dimension. It's pretty and scenic and great for a stroll. Best of all it's free!

Century old paddleboat, with First class Seating having table service and the best views on Lake Geneva.
The second class accommodations are ok. with the best views being on the left side of the boat. There is also a small pub.
Travel is fairly smooth, and you can see the paddle in action.
Lovely way to travel around the Swiss portions of Lake Geneva, especially the views of Chateau de Chillon.

The museum is nicely done. The decor is amazing and all the added features and tech make for an amazing experience at this museum. It tells the history of the olympics, its meaning and spirit, and some behind the scene things. You can easily spend a couple of hours at this museum.

Reviewed By RA_Traveler - California
Could not believe the incredible paintings that were housed in this location. Saw some paintings from famous artists that I have never seen in books. You can still get close to some of these paintings and artwork to see the artists strokes. Beautiful location and grounds.
