Switzerland Vevey
On the shores of Lake Geneva, this enchanting little town has medieval shopping lanes hidden behind a flowerlined lakeside promenade bordering the Grande-Place, a vast square, home to a tantalising twice weekly market. Use the lake boat service or take a trolleybus to visit nearby Montreux or the famous Château de Chillon. Enjoy typical Swiss scenery on the panoramic train to sophisticated Gstaad in the Alps or book an excursion on the Chocolate Train to the Nestlé factory – a must for chocoholics! There is also a lunch break en-route at the ancient village of Gruyères, world-famous for its cheese making.
