Places to Visit
- Magnifique views from the lake
- Musee l'Histoire de Vevey -- from the main train station take the main street, turn left and go along until you'll encounter the signs
- Monument de Henryk Sienkiewicz - the famous Nobel-prize winning writer's monument is located in the Grand Hotel du Lac (it's in the garden but the hotel's personnel is happy to help and talk about it). The writer was living and working there during his political emmigration from occupied Poland.
- Alimentarium – Food Museum (Nestle), The Alimentarium’s new exhibition Tout un plat! Cook-eat-communicate examines the multiple verbal, social and religious messages conveyed during a meal, whether a picnic, business dinner or family gathering. Meals play a lead role in all human society, as an opportunity to absorb flavours, emotions, family values and social rituals, to take in so much more than just the food itself. Whether we eat alone, with a friend, family or colleagues, each meal is a unique and personal experience for every one of us.
