Top 9 Sights & Landmarks in Vevey, Canton of Vaud

November 4, 2021 Ying Subia

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.

Charlie Chaplin Statue

Reviewed By woreditor - Berneck, Switzerland

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.

Nestle Headquarters (Palais Nestle)

Reviewed By jgU1744NE - Stargard, Poland

Building itself is very big, there are two restaurants, both serving really nice food for lunch. From the top of the building there is amazing view on lake and mountains. Wouldn’t' spend too much time in there, but definitely worth seeing.

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.
