#100waysoftravel #swiss #solotrip #travel #thingstodo #museums #myitinerary Day trip in Montreux, raining, early October 2024. Little charming town as their main language is French. Stayed overnight at hotel J5 Hotels Helvetie MONTREUX, the hotel has conserved all its old-world charm since 1800s and room is well furnished and cozy, along with a small balcony where you may see church Église du Sacré-Cœur Catholic Church beside hotel. Upon check-in any hotel Montreux, you will be given a Montreux Riviera Card: a real key that gives you free travel on public transport and discounts on many activities or you may use your Swiss pass to have the same privileges. Head off towards Chillon Castle (château de Chillon in French) via bus from the hotel. It is located on the shores of Lake Geneva, near Montreux in Veytaux, Switzerland. It offers historic exhibitions in the castle and requires around 2 hours to explore. An audio guide can be rent from the souvenir store before you proceed to explore the place. Chill at the cafe at the entrance of castle for a coffee break, they have indoor and outdoor seatings. Next I took a bus ride for Musée de Montreux visit, which shared the historic of Montreux from Neolithic times to the golden age. You will need at least an hour to complete the exhibition, most description are not explained in English language and they don’t have the audio guide. After complete, I walked down the little hillslope and went for a coffee break at one of the cafe near railway station, sat near to the window enjoying the moment. As the day going to end, walk over towards lake Geneva, stroll along the lake where you may see the famous statues of Freddie Mercury statue and Statue Les Amoureux. You will be greeted by the stunning panoramic views of the lake and wait for the sunset view, before ending the day.

Traveling through Europe is like walking through a living museum — and sometimes, the most striking stories are cast in bronze and stone. These statues weren’t just stops on my map — they were silent storytellers of cities, revolutions, and legends. 🇨🇭 Interlaken, Switzerland – Yash Chopra Statue Tucked near the Grand Hotel Jungfrau Victoria in Interlaken, I stumbled upon a bronze statue of Yash Chopra, the celebrated Indian filmmaker who brought the beauty of Switzerland to millions through Bollywood. This monument — complete with a vintage film camera — honors him as an "Ambassador of Interlaken." It was surreal, seeing a piece of Indian cinematic legacy at the foot of the Swiss Alps. 🇫🇷 Place Gutenberg, Strasbourg – Johannes Gutenberg Here stands the father of the printing revolution — Johannes Gutenberg, who gave humanity the printing press. This statue captures him holding a printed page with the words “Et la lumière fut” (And there was light). In this square that once hosted book fairs, his presence still radiates knowledge and change. You feel history pressing into the cobblestones. 🇫🇷 Place Kléber, Strasbourg – Jean-Baptiste Kléber In the heart of Strasbourg, I stood beneath the towering statue of General Jean-Baptiste Kléber, the city’s revolutionary hero. Born here in 1753, he became a brilliant military strategist during the French Revolution. The statue dominates the square, reminding everyone of Strasbourg’s proud historical backbone — and how ideals of liberty once marched through these very streets. 🇨🇭 Montreux, Switzerland – Freddie Mercury Statue By Lake Geneva’s edge, facing the water like he’s ready to sing into the sunset, stands Freddie Mercury. This is more than a statue — it’s a shrine. Flowers at his feet, Queen lyrics in the air, and fans quietly pausing to feel the magic. Montreux was his creative escape — and standing there, it became mine too. 🇫🇷 Colmar, France – Statue of Liberty Yes — Colmar! This town was the birthplace of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the original Statue of Liberty. This 12-meter replica, standing by a traffic circle as you enter the city, might surprise visitors — but it makes perfect sense here. It’s a tribute to liberty born not just in New York, but in Alsace.
