  Vevey Switzerland vevey suisse information   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Vevey quietly cleans its streets, tends its flowerbeds, makes sure it has enough, but not too many, hotels and then waits for visitors of a certain style to find the town for themselves, become enchanted, and stay.
Vevey breathes the decorous Brookner style: generations of tourists return to stroll the flowered promenades, muse on the Dent d’Oche, venture across the water on the Belle Epoque ships of the Lake Geneva fleet, and take high tea in grand hotels.
Vevey’s shops, museums and local life are far more engaging than Montreux’s, and if big cities such as Lausanne or Geneva don’t appeal, you could easily use smalltown Vevey as a comfortable base for a couple of days or weeks from which to explore the whole lake and surrounding region.
