What to do and see in Vevey, Canton of Vaud: The Best Free Things to do

February 4, 2022 Layne Dawes

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.

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.

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.
