About the city
Montreux is a municipality in the district of Vevey in the canton of Vaud in
It is mostly known for its world-famous month-long Jazz Festival, which is a bit of a misnomer, as you’re just as likely to catch David Bowie or Beck as, say Steve Coleman. Montreux is well worth a wander through, if only to get to the scenic Château de Chillon or to Hauts de Montreux, as well as seeing the monument dedicated to Freddie Mercury.
