Montreux is a resort to quietly fall in love with. Your heart may be swayed by the Alpine scenery, the balmy climate (palm trees and vineyards flourish), or the turquoise waters of Lake Geneva. Or maybe your head is turned by the local wine and indulgent regional cuisine. Whatever you fall for, you can't help but slow down, kick back and drink in the views. There's history and culture to discover too - all within reach by bus, boat or train that run with Swiss efficiency.
A destination since the 19th-century, Montreux has an air of old-world elegance, with ornate belle époque hotels and villas lining the lakeside. Adding to the well-heeled atmosphere is a flower-filled promenade that's dotted with sculptures, including a statue of the late Queen singer and one-time resident, Freddie Mercury, who famously advised 'If you want peace of mind, come to Montreux'. The prom is the city's beating heart, a place to stroll, shop and dine. It also has lush shaded gardens and steps leading down to the water when you want a cooling dip.
