There are sites of nature that amaze, startle and leave you gasping for breath— and then there are awesome creations like Château de Chillon, that force you to glare at them without batting your eyelids while being transported into a new world. Standing imperiously on the banks of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, the castle of Chillon proves to be arguably the best preserved medieval fortification in all of Europe. One that will remain etched in your memory forever.
The journey to the ancient place— a must if you are exploring the stunning landscape of Switzerland, starts best with a boat ride over Lake Geneva or a romantic shoreline walk. Once you get to the castle, you will see that it looks as grand from the inside as it looks magnificent from the outside.
