Morges, Medieval town on Lake Geneva, Switzerland
Morges extends along the northern shore of Lake Geneva with a medieval castle and promenade leading to a natural harbor at its center point.
The strategic settlement, established in 1286 by Louis of Savoy, functioned as a defense point against attacks from neighboring Geneva and Lausanne.
The Military Museum inside Morges Castle displays an extensive collection of weapons, uniforms, and military equipment from different periods of Swiss history.
The train station connects directly to Geneva Airport and Lausanne, with regular boats departing from the port to other Lake Geneva destinations.
The Tulip Festival in spring presents over 120,000 tulips in Parc de l'Indépendance, making it the largest tulip celebration in Switzerland.
