• Jet d'Eau
  

  
  Jet d'Eau, the Rade, is one of the crowning symbols of Geneva, a fountain of water pumped 140m into the air. It's beautifully lit at night.
  
  

• Geneva Old Town
  

  
  Aside of the cathedral the Old town in general is worth walking around in for a hour or two. Among the highlights are the city hall with the cannons in the little square opposite to it, Rousseau's birth house and various antique shops with all sorts of interesting stuff in the windows.
  
  

• Château de Chillon
  

  
  A historic castle and the country's most visited place, on a small island in Lake Geneva only a few meters from the shore. Lord Byron was once imprisoned in its dungeon
  
  

• Lavaux vineyards

• Lausanne
  

  
  " Lausanne is a block of picturesque houses, spilling over two or three gorges, which spread from the same central knot, and are crowned by a cathedral like a tiara. On the esplanade of the church … I saw the lake over the roofs, the mountains over the lake, clouds over the mountains, and stars over the clouds." Such was Victor Hugo's impression of this grand and graceful tiered city.
  
  

• Montreux
  

  
  Montreux might be called the Cannes of Lac Léman—though it might raise an eyebrow at the slur. Spilling down steep hillsides into a sunny south-facing bay, its waterfront thick with magnolias, cypresses, and palm trees, the historic resort earns its reputation as the capital—if not the pearl—of the Swiss Riviera.

• Vevey
  

  
  Despite its virtual twinning with glamorous Montreux, Vevey retains its air of isolation and old-world gentility. Loyal visitors have been returning for generations to gaze at the Dent d'Oche (7,288 feet), across the water in France, and make sedate steamer excursions into Montreux and Lausanne.
  
  

• Aigle Castle
  

  
  A very picturesque castle in Aigle town.
