Magnifique - We visited the castle today as a part of a “My Cruises” tour. Joel was our castle guide, he was so interesting and funny. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour of this beautiful historical site. He really made it come alive for us. I’m so pleased we were able to visit

Castle with a stunning view - We took our college kids to Montreux for the day. We took the local bus from the Casino stop to the castle - super easy. The castle with the Alps as a backdrop is magnificent! Definitely worth your time and money (it's reasonable). Have one person buy the audio tour and be your tour guide. The castle is not accessible. It does have restrooms.

A visit that does not disappoint - We went to Christmas, when they perform craft work. It was spectacular! You see the castle full of life, with performances, activities for children, animals. I have never visited a castle where I would have had such a good time. And the kids flip it. That thing about seeing the fireplaces with real fire, people dressed in period clothes... absolutely great. Also, the castle is huge, you can visit practically everything (which is not like others that have many rooms closed to the public).

A beautiful water castle - Château de Chillon is a medieval castle on Lake Geneva in western Switzerland. Located in the town of Veto near Montreux, Wau, Switzerland. In the evening. The view under the sunset is especially beautiful!

Amazing! - Wonderful medieval castle located on a rock on Lake Geneva in Veytaux, near Montreux. It is beautiful and you can visit many environments, some have been left as they were, in others there are Collections of trunks (many and beautiful), weapons and armor, in others, teaching and study tools. You can also see the patrol paths with beautiful views. Recommendation to visit it in the late afternoon, to see beautiful sunsets over the lake!

Impressive - Everyone knows this defensive castle by sight, but a visit will reveal the richness of its history, through many courtyards, halls, roundabouts and towers. Atmosphere, especially in the basements flush with the water... We have given up taking audio guides, which cost 6.- per person. It ends up being more expensive than the "family" ticket... too bad!

Chillin Castle review - The Castle is one if the top ten visitor attraction in Switzerland. The castle is in good repair although as it is built on a rocky out crop disabled access is limited. The castle has had some renovation, some sympathetically others just poured concrete! The main rooms are impressive but it is left to the imagination to “dress the rooms”. There are no interactive displays nor are there examples of dinner sets from throughout the 3 ages of the castle. This isn’t a ruin so adding historical elements would enhance not distract from the castle. There are no armaments on display either personal weapons, swords muskets etc or longer range cannon etc. An interesting castle with a great promenade from Montreux but just a little lacking if you are used to visiting UK Royal Armouries or UK National Trust properties but this might just be a Swiss thing…
