Discover the authentic and creative spirit of Vevey on a guided walking tour through one of the Swiss Riviera’s most culturally rich towns.

Nestled between Lake Geneva and the Lavaux vineyards, Vevey has long attracted artists, writers and visionaries inspired by its beautiful landscapes and relaxed atmosphere. With roots dating back to Roman times, when it was known as Vibiscum, the town carries layers of history that still shape its character today.

Stroll through the charming Old Town, explore the lively Place du Marché, one of the largest market squares in Switzerland, and visit the statue of Charlie Chaplin, who chose Vevey as his home. On Tuesdays and Saturdays, the square comes alive with a vibrant local farmers market, offering a glimpse into everyday life on the Swiss Riviera.

Along the way, you’ll also discover Vevey’s global connection to Nestlé, and how this small lakeside town played a role in shaping modern Swiss innovation, including its deep ties to the world of Swiss chocolate.

You’ll also hear the story of the extraordinary Fête des Vignerons, the legendary wine festival celebrated roughly every 20–25 years, a rare tradition that reflects the deep cultural roots of the region.

This tour offers a thoughtful introduction to Vevey’s artistic heritage, entrepreneurial spirit and everyday Swiss Riviera life.
