What to do and see in Vevey, Canton of Vaud: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

December 10, 2021 Joeann Galban

On the Swiss Riviera, Vevey is perched between Mount PŽlerin and Lake Geneva. Writers, artists and intellectuals have long been attracted to the village: Henry James's "Daisy Miller" is set here (you can still stay at the Hotel des Trois Couronnes) and Charlie Chaplin made nearby Corsier his home. Today, it's the headquarters for NestlŽ yet retains its old-world charm. To see for yourself, meander the alleys of Old Town, visit the fine art collection at the MuseŽ Jenisch and shop at the weekly market.

Villa "Le Lac" Le Corbusier

Reviewed By PeterGantenbein1 - Corseaux, Switzerland

A small house built for his parents by Le Corbusier, visionary architect and urban planner, combined with a great talent of communication and self promotion. On a limited surface on the shores of lake Geneva, he built the house of the future in the early twenties of last century: Small, different and practical. When you visit try to meet the curator of this landmark, his passion for the place and the person, still being objective and factual about the flaws of innovation, makes this a unique experience.

While strolling in front of the lake, stop shortly for a photo with Vevey's best known citizen. The walk by the lake offers an incredible view. On a sunny day, one of Europe's nicest walks.

Alimentarium

For over 30 years already, the world's first-ever food-themed museum has been sharing a global and independent view of the many aspects of the human diet. Its multidisciplinary, cultural, historical, scientific and nutritional-focused approach and its bold and original programme of activities have established the Alimentarium as the world's leading food-themed attraction. As the centrepiece of the Museum, the new permanent exhibition "Food - The essence of life" invites children and adults alike to take a fresh look at an activity steeped in history and laden with emotional significance: eating. The unique new scenography, combining discovery, experimentation and learning, invites visitors on a fun-filled, interactive journey through three new sectors: Food, Society and The Body. Enlivened with projections, interactive terminals and video installations, this immersive experience will make visitors aware of the influence diet can have on the body and its environment.

While I was hesitant at first, I went in not knowing what to expect from the 'food museum' and I came out having had the most pleasant of surprises!. The museum is interactive, it really invites you to be curious, to play and discover about nutrition, how certain foods dominated in parts of the world at different times, and much more... Not to mention the super delicious food I had for lunch which was prepared by chefs at the museum's cafe. I highly recommend eating there. At the same time, beware! Do not start your visit to Alimentarium on an empty stomach!

The Fork

Reviewed By beatrizm115 - Dortmund, Germany

Thanks to TripAdvisor I now discovered that the fork stays there to represent food because the Museum of Food is located there. I just thought it was a funny gag and did not make the connection. You can take a nice picture with the fork on your tummy.
