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. Because of its Mediterranean climate, the region around [Vevey](https://www.expedia.ca/Vevey.d5504.Destination-Travel-Guides) is known as the Swiss Riviera. Visit the headquarters of Nestlé, one of the world’s largest food companies, tour its factory and sample chocolate. Silent film star Charlie Chaplin lived in this area for many years. Continue along to [Montreux](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreux.d4480.Destination-Travel-Guides), the jewel of the Swiss Riviera. This grand city has long attracted the rich and famous, most notably Queen front man Freddie Mercury. Visit Montreux Palace and other lavish buildings from the Belle Époque and attend a day or two of events at annual music festivals. 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. Lake Geneva is a delight to visit in any season. In fact, you could stay here for many months and still not see all it has to offer. - Lake Geneva Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Lake Geneva ![citizenM Geneva](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45710000/45707700/45707685/ff9502d6_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### citizenM Geneva 31-33 Rue de la Rotisserie, Geneva CA $268 CA $291 total Oct 5 - Oct 6 includes taxes & fees Stay at this 4-star business-friendly hotel in Geneva.
