Kanton Waadt's Must-See Treasures

Kanton Waadt features a diverse range of landmarks, from the medieval island fortress of Chillon Castle to the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyard terraces overlooking Lake Geneva. In Lausanne, the Gothic Notre Dame Cathedral stands above the car-free Old Town and the historic Palud Square, while the Olympic Museum documents global sporting history. The lakeside in Montreux is home to the bronze Freddie Mercury statue, reflecting the area's musical ties. For natural scenery, the Creux du Van provides a massive limestone cirque with 150-meter-deep cliffs.
