Vevey, Municipality on Lake Geneva shores, Switzerland
Vevey extends along the northern shore of Lake Geneva, surrounded by Alpine mountains and terraced vineyards descending to the water.
The settlement, known as Vibiscum during Roman times, developed from a medieval station on the Via Francigena into an industrial center during the 1800s.
The Fête des Vignerons wine festival, recognized by UNESCO, celebrates local winegrowers and their traditions every twenty years in the Grande Place.
Visitors reach Vevey through regular train connections from Geneva and Lausanne, with the main station located within walking distance of the lakefront.
The Alimentarium, housed in the former Nestlé headquarters, presents food-related exhibitions with a giant fork sculpture emerging from Lake Geneva.
