The Chateau de Chillon is a very good castle to visit, whether it’s your first tour of a castle or your hundredth tour. The signage says it’s the most historically significant site in all of Switzerland. We did the self-guided tour and saw wonderful vaulted ceilings, a prison, murals, antique and medieval furnishings, old weaponry - you name it, Chillon has it. We did the self-guided tour with a map and had seen most of the castle (or so we thought) when we realized we were at station #24 and there were over 40 stations to visit! There are centuries of history, stories of famous prisoners, and lakefront escapes from conquering armies, what more could you want? You get all of this and free 2 hour parking, which is a rarity in Montreux as far as we could tell. It was definitely worth a visit.
