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.

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.

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!

This is the last point on the map Nabokov stayed, and he is also buried in the neighborhood, if you was not aware For me, this is the one of a few that makes literature And not the so good known Lolita, but because of the amazing, deep, full and multidimensional Prose Being here and visiting the monument means being a part of the people why share in their life the real international culture of the very high level
