Right on the shore of Lake Geneva in Montreux. Beautiful architecture and picture perfect setting. The blue water of the lake in the backdrop makes for a great photograph .

Daniel Bachmann

Chillon Castle or Château de Chillon is an architectural jewel located in the most beautiful setting imaginable - on the shores of Lake Geneva , right at the foot of Switzerland 's Alps! Bring a camera !

Abhishek

Make sure that you spend at least a couple of hours exploring the chateau! Also, take a postcard-isque photograph of the castle with the mountains in the backdrop if you walk right to the castle .

Ne of the most fascinating chateaus i have visited, almost every room has a different vibe and you can really feel the history there, must visit when youre close

A castle with limited things to see inside. Located by the water which make it ideal for pic and swimming . Go there if u have time

A medieval castle on the shores of Lake Geneva . The iPod audio guide is worth getting and if you’re up for climbing a few hundred stairs, the highest tower provides excellent photo opportunities . Read more

The castle is absolutely awesome and beautiful, but overall it's full of history! Take audio-guide with no doubt! It's totally worth it!

REally awesome castle with great history - well preserved space - lots of access and self guided tour is great.

Chris Taylor

The castle is beautiful and the views are scenic . However, it does get very cold, even in the spring. Make sure that you bring a warm coat and even gloves.

Endre Fejes

Gorgeous view of the lake . There are performances in the evening.

Reach via 201 bus from either Vevey station or from Escaliers de Gare from Montreux. Or take a cruise from Vevey/ Montreux.

Monica Antohi

Iconic! Medieval , romantic , but in a dungeons and dragons kind of way. DO NOT MISS!

Melani Aguilar

It's really nice view from the sides of the castle , didn't really felt like paying to get in.

Love Nube

Be prepared with comfy shoes and warm clothes , don't miss the wine from Clos de Chillon you can buy it at the little souvenir shop.

Good castle

Caron Naude

Slightly underwhelmed

Michael Blum

Nix Skifahren?

Gal Laxie

Огромный замок ! Много залов открыто. Почти в каждом есть камин и вентиляция. Каждый зал неповторимо оформлен. Сам Байрон нацарапал свой автограф на одной из колонн подвала .

Eugene Matyushkin

Очень красиво. Особенно с озера . Возьмите либо моторку либо водный велосипед и посмотрите на замок с озера . Ну и вблизи очень интересный замок .

Angela Teresa Rispoli

Very beautiful at any time, any season. I would say a summer sunset is the best, with the jazz festival in the background.... but the marché de noel with its fairy ambiance is also pleasant. - Romy Alyssa Madison
