Vevey at a glance

This is Vevey


Vevey is situated in the southwest of Switzerland, in the French-speaking part of the country. Its location on Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) with a view of the Alps and the mild climate make the town a popular destination. Because of the mix of picturesque scenery and cultural riches, Vevey is often referred to as the “pearl of the Swiss Riviera”.

Discover Vevey


Your journey of discovery begins on the idyllic lakeside promenade, past the statue of Charlie Chaplin. You’ll stroll through the old town with its alleyways, historic buildings and boutiques and finally make a stop at the Grande Place (market square). A market is held here on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Another sightseeing attraction in Vevey: the Alimentarium, a unique museum dedicated entirely to nutrition.

Chaplin’s World and Vevey’s connection to Charlie Chaplin


It was in Vevey that one of the most well-known comedians and actors – Charlie Chaplin – spent the last few years of his life. At the Chaplin’s World museum, you’ll get a glimpse into the life and work of the silent film icon. The statue of Charlie Chaplin on the lakeside promenade also commemorates the artist.

The Lavaux vineyards near Vevey


Vevey is surrounded by the Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
