About the city
Montreux, an elegant gem on the shores of Lake Geneva, has long enjoyed a reputation as a city where culture, music and top-class events blend naturally with the relaxed atmosphere of the Riviera. As one of the most recognisable destinations in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, it attracts visitors who want to combine concerts, sporting events and a quality city break in one location. The city offers a harmonious mix of lakeside promenade, well-kept public spaces and a rich tourism offering, so attending an event here often becomes a complete travel experience.
One of Montreux’s greatest advantages is its excellent transport connectivity. The city is served by SBB/CFF/FFS trains, and Gare de Montreux is the main railway hub from which arenas, hotels and key points in the city are reached quickly and easily. Local transport relies on the network of VMCV buses and trolleybuses, while the nearby pier for CGN boats on Lake Geneva adds further appeal. For international visitors, the connection with Genève-Aéroport is especially practical, with very straightforward rail links to Montreux, allowing travellers to arrive and depart without complicated logistics.
Before or after an event, Montreux offers enough to make the stay memorable beyond the arena or stadium itself. A walk along the Montreux Lakeside reveals views of the lake and the Alps, while the old town and Saint-Vincent Church add an extra historical and authentic dimension to the destination. Nearby, visitors will also find Château de Chillon, one of the best-known landmarks on the Swiss lakeshore, ideal for a short excursion before a concert or after a sporting event. It is precisely this combination of easy access, natural beauty and varied offerings that makes Montreux an exceptionally attractive choice for anyone who wants more than just a ticket.
