Montreux
From any point of the shore you can see the famous Chillon Castle, which protrudes into the lake, sung by Byron. Montreux is one of the most romantic resorts of the Swiss Riviera. For many writers, artists and artists, Montreux was a second home. Among them are Byron, Hugo, Shelly, Nabokov, Charlie Chaplin. Freddie Mercury died here. There are not many castles in the country, but one of the most famous in the world - Chillon - is located here, a couple of kilometers from the city limits. In the XI century, this place was a small fortress, guarding an important trade route leading to Italy through the Saint Bernard Pass. In the middle of the thirteenth century, the castle acquired the appearance that we see now, it rises majestically on a small rocky island, reflected in the water of Lake Geneva. Many artists and writers were inspired by this romantic landscape. George Gordon Byron wrote The Prisoner of Chillon after three days in prison.
