The Swiss Museum of Games occupies a lakeside castle setting in La Tour-de-Peilz, just along the shore from Montreux. Its subject is playful but broad, covering board games, strategy, chance, and the social worlds that gather around games.
The museum is a pleasant change of pace from vineyards, jazz heritage, and Belle Epoque lakefront scenery. It works especially well for families or on a rainy day, and the lakeside location makes it easy to combine with a walk toward Vevey or Montreux.
