Each time coming to a new city, the traveler creates the very first brightest and probably errorless opinion and performance. Acquaintance with the new city is like acquaintance with a new person, and say the same, the first impression is the most accurate. So, having arrived in Montre, the feeling that the city is aristocratic and cold. Montre is unusually beautiful and he knows about it, feels his superiority and his beauty. The city is very expensive, however, like all the major cities of the Swiss Riviera. Up to 19th century, Montre was only a small village, and after turned into one of the main cities on the Lake Geneva. So, if you decide to visit the Swiss Rivier, then you just need to visit Montre, without a trip here Impressions and the trip will not be complete. Now in the city just boils life, there are a lot of closed private schools, expensive beauty clinics, clubs, bars, casino, restaurants, etc.
Here is a wonderful soft climate due to the fact that on the one hand, the Lake Geneva, and on the other hand the city closes the Alps.
Every year, since 1967, the jazz festival is held in Montre, so that music lovers have to go here. The coast of Montre is a delightful Schilon Castle, which was built in the 13th century. And if you are lucky to get into Montreux for Christmas holidays, then you are simply obliged to visit the Christmas Fair on which you can buy local wine and chocolate (dehrestatvaya free :). By the way, the wine is gorgeous here, because the city is located in the heart of the winemaking. Especially here at the fair will like children, because for them they organize a mini park and train.
A large drawback of the city is the cost, the cost of everything from hotels to ordinary coffee in a small cafe. It is not surprising, the town is very popular, there is a demand - the price of the presence increases. Therefore, if you decide to visit the Swiss Riviera, it would be reasonable to stop in a small town of Vieve type on Riviera, where prices will be an order of magnitude or two below, and in Montra, come to look at the ship on the lake. Ships run on the lake between the cities of Riviera every day, so the journey will not be difficult and will be a small adventure.
Morning in Montreux is the same noisy and overloaded as in the rest of the major cities of the world, only the landscape pleases the eye.
Silent Castle is so 8 centuries ...
