Lake Geneva, or Lac Léman as French speakers know it, is the largest lake in Western Europe. Straddling the border between Switzerland and France, the lake is surrounded by charming cities and towns, lush vineyards and the snowy Vaud Alps. Geneva dominates the southwestern end of Lake Geneva where it meets the Rhone River. This truly international city is nicknamed the Capital of Peace. Look for the iconic Jet d’Eau, a massive stream of water that shoots 460 feet (140 meters) into the air. Lausanne is smaller than Geneva, but also beautiful. Explore the pedestrian-only Old Town and its famous cathedral. The [Olympic Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Olympic-Museum-Lausanne.d6067741.Vacation-Attraction) in Lausanne deserves a gold medal. The world’s oldest athletic competition comes to life through its interactive exhibits and sculpture park. [Morges](https://www.expedia.ca/Morges.d4481.Destination-Travel-Guides) is Lausanne’s much smaller neighbor, known for its annual Tulip Festival, when thousands of blooms welcome spring. Morges is the gateway to La Côte in Vaud’s wine country. Savor a wine tasting at one of its famous vineyards.

On the eastern shores of the lake, tour [Château de Chillon](https://www.expedia.ca/Chateau-De-Chillon-Veytaux.d6067763.Vacation-Attraction), one of Europe’s most visited castles. With its fascinating history and stunning location, it’s easy to understand the appeal. The castle sits on a small rocky island in Lake Geneva and even has its own private beach.
