Photogenic Chillon Castle claims to be the most-visited historic monument in Switzerland. It is probably one of the most photographed Swiss buildings too. Château de Chillon is a lovely castle on a small islet in Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The romantic castle is a family-friendly destination and very popular with travelers of all ages. Although a historic monument, the main attraction is the building itself rather than exhibitions or artworks.

Transportation to Chillon Castle is very easy with great road, railway, and boat links to other parts of the Lac Léman region and the rest of Switzerland. Visiting Chateau de Chillon is easy too as the castle is open year-round. The fortress is a great day-trip destination from Geneva, Lausanne, and ski resorts in the French and Swiss Alps. It is also a fine rainy weather option and fun to visit in any weather. Castle tickets are available online — currently, advanced-purchased tickets are essential
