In the middle of the Lake Geneva region, the canton of Vaud stretches from the Jura to the Vaud Alps. This region is primarily known for one thing: wine. With the wine-growing region of Lavaux, the region is home to another UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is not only a destination for wine lovers. Other highlights in the region include the student city of Lausanne, Montreux with Chateau Chillon and a boat trip on Lake Geneva, Europe's second largest inland lake.

From travellers like you
“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”
Laurent
on Ticket Chaplin's World“Felt safe, laughed a lot, enjoyed diversity and happy after the tour.”
Amanda
